Interest and Involvement in the Sport

My involvement in croquet stems from my belief that croquet is a sport for life and can provide a means to engage those members of our communities that can no longer play the more strenuous sports such as tennis, golf or bowls.

When I introduce new players to croquet I emphasize the social aspect before the competitive.

I am keen to see croquet clubs liaise with their local councils to improve the facilities available to croquet players.

• Secretary of Twin City Croquet Club
• NEDCA Regional Director
• a Member of North Eastern District Golf Croquet Sub-Committee
