Grand Open Day

Ipswich Croquet Club's Grand Open Day on Sunday was a great success. As the day went on numbers picked up as the weather improved!! Many games of one-ball and golf croquet were played and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. The highlight of the day was the delicious tea of sandwiches, including cucumber of course!!, scones and many varieties of home-made cake all washed down with Pimms! Martin Leech made a speech thanking all those who have helped the club this year particularly Martin French who has worked tirelessly for the club. He then presented prizes to the winner of the Golf Croquet competition - Bob Sutherland who won despite not having lifted a mallet since 1989! - and the winner of the One Ball competition - Andrew Paris - well done to them both.

Below are a few pictures from the day.
