Corporate Events and Parties
Are you looking for an original, fun, hospitality idea this summer? Organising an afternoon or evening out for the office? Try croquet!
A croquet party in the pleasant surroundings of our Club could provide the perfect answer for groups of between 8 and 24 players; up to 50 people including spectators. It's ideal for either private or corporate entertainment. Men and women, young and old, play on equal terms and it's something that everybody can do, regardless of fitness level.
| EQUIPMENT | We'll set up the lawns, provide all the equipment and have somebody on hand to show you what to do. The only thing your guests will need to bring is suitable shoes. |
| FACILITIES | We've got a pavilion with toilets, small kitchen area and club room and there are plenty of good pubs and restaurants nearby to go on to afterwards. |
| HOSTING | We will teach you and your guests the basics of Golf Croquet and suggest some devious tactics to outwit your opponents. But we'll start right at the beginning - how to swing a mallet, how to hit a ball and how to go through hoops. We'll provide one of our members for coaching and mentoring for each 4-8 participants. |
| COMPETITIONS | Games can be arranged to suit everyone's wishes. They can be arranged on a friendly basis, where guests can choose to play as much or as little as they wish, or competitively in the form of mini-tournaments which we can organize for you. Perhaps you'll want to provide a suitable prize for the winners (and losers)? Anyway, you tell us how competitive you want it to be. |
| DRESS | Anyway you like, but players must wear flat-soled shoes - trainers are fine. Women/Girls: if you want to keep pace with the guys, we suggest you wear slacks or shorts - it's not easy to play in a long or tight skirt! |
| TIMES | We suggest a minimum of 2 hours and you can choose an afternoon or evening, starting at say 5:30 or 6pm. Please check our diary for dates already allocated. |
| FOOD AND DRINK | We can provide basic catering of your choice lawnside - or you can bring your own food and drink. |
| COST | Depends on numbers and duration, typically a minimum of £8 per player (minimum charge £50) - but ask us for a quote. We will need a small deposit with your booking. This is non-refundable in the event of cancellation - save for bad weather when it can be re-used for an alternative later booking. |
