HWCC faces Trade Descriptions Act case over so-called 'Winter' tournament yesterday

23/3/2022

But who's complaining?  16 degrees, sunshine from start to finish, lunch taken outdoors, even the occasional mention of sunscreen!  

The  event itself provided yet more evidence that Advantage GC does give people of different handicaps a fair chance to compete against one another.  Three of the first matches ended 7-6 (and the fourth was 7-5); the lowest handicapped player (3) ended in the bottom half of the tournament; and the final was played between a 4 and a 9.

So, as the winter series ends, it's nice to know that, since we started in October:
  • 45 different people have taken part
  • across the three formats (Level Low and High, plus Advantage GC)
  • from no fewer than 9 clubs
  • with 13 different winners taking home a bottle of bubbly
  • generating £1020 net for club funds
  • and a LOT of friendly, competitive croquet in the expected range of weathers. 

My thanks go to all the HWCC members who have helped in many ways to put these shows on.  Day Managers Sharon, Martin, Geoff B, Keith and Richard.  Referee (and Advantage GC pegmaker!) Ian.  Hoop-setters Raouf and Keith.  

A real club effort!

Great effort by all who helped stage these winter tournaments. The fun and joy is well worth the cold. The income is very much appreciated - big thank you to Chris 🙌🙌🙌
