Take care to protect yourselves - and the lawn. (Not all flat shoes are the same!)

Those members who have been at the club recently will know that the ground is muddy in places and can be treacherous. Please do be careful and walk carefully.   No running ;-)

You may also be opting for a warmer, more robust shoe. But please note that not all flat shoes are the same. In the picture below the shoe on the left is a bowls shoe with a completely flat sole - in fact it this makes it quite slippery in current conditions.  The shoe on the right is broadly 'flat' but has raised dimples. This shoe has good grip but is not suitable for croquet use since it tears the soft surface.

Whilst not being proscriptive, please consider your footwear.  It must of course be flat. Some grip is good for safety. Too much grip becomes damaging to the lawn.
