Kate Patrick opened our season for us on September 7th, 2924. She was welcomed by Barb Shannon our President, and Pat Smith our director. Members from all clubs were present, although the day was quite cool. Kate ran the first hoop for the season. She explained the way the VCA works for all croquet players. Members played golf croquet after thee official opening.
