25.01.2022 On the last two days of Quarry Hills Tournament the sun came out and the Doubles event got under way , With three games to go to day there was still not a definite winner . Brian Rowe and Jan Lebek were undefeated till the last game when they met Quarry Hill pair of Lois Breadon and John Murdoch who took the game on the last hoop . But lost first place by 4 hoops . Congratulations Brian and Jan second time winners ,and well done to Lois and John who had never played in an... handicap event before but quickly picked up how to use those spares. Thankyou all who travelled from afar to play at our club . Below is Brian Rowe, ( essenden) Jan lebek , ( Golden Square) Bill Humphreys NDCA President, Lois Breadon , Bill Humphreys and John Murdoch .

24.01.2022 After the second lockdown ,our eight members were keen to resume our coaching of Association Croquet we started with a couple of weeks revising and then they played a round robin competition . Timed games on small courts over six hoops were keenly contested with most players getting pegouts . Winner of competition was John Murdoch and runner up was his wife Irene Murdoch ,can see these two having great contests in the future . At the end of competition our players enjoyed l...unch at the local . It was a pleasure to coach an enthusiastic mix of people and even better is that they are keen to continue .

Welcome to two new Members Anne and Margaret hope you enjoy you time with Quarry Hill

20.01.2022 After 4 weeks of coaching ,it was time for them to take their skills to the Quarry Hill Croquet Club for the class challenge ,16 children in teams of 4 played 3 games in pairs , the winning team scored 60 hoops and were very excited to win the class trophy ,all the participants recieved a badge and were then treated to fresh fruit thanks to Helen Goulay.It was great to see the children enthusiastic about croquet. Bill and Helen have done a fantastic job of coordinating this, but nothing can be done without the help of all our volunteers. Im sure we will be seeing more of these children on our courts in the future. Thank you to all who helped.
