Attached is the GVCA Autumn Pennant fixture. The Winter/Spring Pennant season will commence on August 5. 
The inaugural GVCA/NEDCA Invitational Challenge was held on Monday, 5th October. Each Association selected teams of four from clubs across their region to play in in 3 divisions based on handicaps. Play was friendly and competitive and the day was a great success. The winner of the first Challenge is the GVCA who won 23 games and 221 hoops to NEDCA's 13 games and 190 hoops. Play was closer than the end result seems to indicate, with many games reaching the maximum 7-6 hoops score. The match was played at Shepparton Croquet Club (Div 1 and 2) and Shepparton Lawn Tennis Club (Div 3). GVCA's John Young and NEDCA's Maurice Cevaal-Hewitt are congratulated on the well organised event. 
Shepparton Croquet Club hosted the GVCA Golf Croquet Singles Tournament on 12th and 13th February in extremely hot and humid weather. 32 players competed from 14 clubs around Victoria, NSW and Canberra, with play in three Sections depending on handicap. Section 1 for players with handicaps -2 to 4 was split into two blocks with block winners Trevor Peters of Echuca Moama and John Young of Shepparton playing off in a final. Both players had lost only one of their earlier games. John played very strongly to defeat Trevor 7-3 and take the Section 1 win. Runners up in the two blocks were Brian Rowe of Essendon with 4 wins and Bill Manwaring of RNB with 5 wins. Winner for Section 2 was Deirdre Lebbon of Sale, and runner up was Dawn McQuilton of Wodonga. Section 3 winner was Virginia Rowe of Ballarat Alexandra, and runner up was James Gunn of Rich River.

Section 1 only had three entrants, and Tricia Devlin of Castlemaine won all her games to win with a nett hoop score of +36, ahead of Lois Kirk of Quarry Hill with two wins and 0 nett hoops.
