It has been an interesting experience learning to play on a synthetic lawn surface. The faster ball speed on this surface took at little getting used to, but members seem to have adapted well, even daring to play competition.
The tennis courts allowed us to establish two temporary croquet 'lawns', although we had to compromise making our courts narrower in order to fit them in.
The good news is that we are able to establish two brand new, full size croquet lawns on the unused section of the tennis club land. By also utilising the double tennis court we will end up with 3 playing lawns - a good result for our club.
Our new 'lawns' will be synthetic turf, specially produced for playing croquet. We are taking our time to get this right and you will be able to follow our progress on the "Synthetic Lawn Installation" page on this blog.
