Date for your diary – our Croquet season starts on Easter Sunday!

“Excuse me, there are spare mallets available for everyone: definitely no flamingos required”


Stroll up to the Ember Croquet lawns from 2pm on Easter Sunday and try your skills with ball and mallet
Croquet is a game for everyone, male or female, young and old alike, a game of skill and strategy rather than strength and agility. Join us for an afternoon of fun amongst our friendly bunch of enthusiasts
Can’t make it Easter Sunday?
We play every Sunday afternoon weather permitting, when you are welcome to come and have a go and see if croquet is for you

Croquet at Ham House

hh2
 
Croquet returned to Ham House on 16th and 17th July as Jaques of London once again held two of their Family Fun days there in conjunction with the National Trust.  Along with other outdoor games, five short lawns were laid out for croquet and lots of people, with lots of children, came to have a go.  For the second year, members of Ember Croquet Club joined Ben Jaques and his son Tom in providing instruction and assistance to visitors from all over London and beyond.
The weather was fine and the surroundings congenial, providing an all too rare opportunity to promote public awareness of an under-appreciated sport.hh3

National Croquet Day Sunday 5th June

ncdx
National Croquet Day (NCD)
Sunday 5th June 2016
Public Invitation
Come and try The Croquet Experience at Ember on National Croquet Day.  Members of the club will be here from 11am to 4pm  to welcome you and show you how to play.
Croquet: a sport with that competitive edge
Croquet: a game of skill that anyone can play
Croquet: try something new!
All you need to bring are a sense of fun and a pair of flat shoes (e.g. trainers).
National Croquet Day celebrates this interesting and addictive game that is increasing in popularity.
Croquet is a sport where you hit a ball through a series of hoops with a long mallet. It needs skill and tactics rather than brute strength, so men and women, young and old, play on equal terms using an effective handicapping system that allows beginners to challenge much better players.
Association Croquet (AC) and Golf Croquet (GC) are the main codes, each with its own demands and skills and much in common, especially that competitive edge! AC includes a variety of shots and break-building tactics to encourage scoring multiple hoops in a turn, whilst GC interactively contests each hoop, often with spectacular hoop shots and distant ball clearances.
The UK has a friendly and vibrant croquet scene with several world champions and world top-10 players.
Come along to Ember on Sunday 5th June between 11am and 4pm and have a go!
