2021-06-23 Larger groups as COVID restrictions easeThe Deputy Premier has announced some easing of COVID restrictions across Victoria from 11.59 pm on Thursday evening 24 June. The detail is now available in updated Restricted Activity Directions from the Chief Health Officer. A new change for croquet is that there is no longer a maximum group size for outdoor community sport (metro Melbourne and regional). This means there is no longer a need to ensure tournaments are split into small groups. The number of people at a venue is limited by the space available and the density quotient that applies. 2021-06-22 Croquet Victoria AGMCroquet Victoria held its 2021 Annual General Meeting via Zoom on Monday 21 June 2021.

Always keen to carry out the directions of the state body, Kyneton Croquet Club swung into action. Both local secondary colleges were contacted. In mid-March, back came the reply from Kyneton Secondary College, 'We would love to give students the opportunity to give croquet a go.' With term 1 almost over, it was decided to start on 10 May; it would last for one week, there were to be four classes of Year 10 students who would all come for one session.
