The penultimate GC winter tournament

20/3/2025

0 Comments

 
This year's autumn and winter GC tournaments have suffered far less weather disruption than in previous years.  Which is good for people's ability to keep their skills sharp,  not to mention the benefits to club funds from tournament fees and the enjoyment of High Wycombe members and visitors to our club.

Tuesday 18 March saw the last of the level play events, a one-day competition of five rounds for players with handicaps of 5 or higher.  Three of the eight players were regular visitors from Caversham and Eynsham; one of the HWCC people was playing in only his second tournament; and a late withdrawal meant that the tournament manager became a multi-tasking player for the day!  

Winter may have been the title on the sheet but it was actually a delightful Spring day with clear skies and relatively little wind.  Croquet was made for days like these.

In the end, two HWCC players contested the final, with lucky tournament manager Chris Webbley taking the prize.  Special mentions go to new contestant William Holman who demonstrated some superb clearances and calm  focus throughout, and to Carol Jamieson who won her last game in style with a double hoop run on the 11th and 12th!

One more event to go before the jumping restarts and the summer competitions get going.

The Recreation Ground is on the A404.  If approaching from the north, travel 400m south from the Hazlemere double roundabout, slow down at Holy Trinity Church on your left and look for a small road on your right with Croquet Club and Recreation Ground signs. Coming from the south (High Wycombe) direction, we are about a kilometre north of the Royal Grammar School.
