AGM
31 members attended the AGM on Sat 29th Feb at 10:00am in the pavilion at WSSCC.
Some rule changes were agreed including formally changing the club name to Winterborne Valley Croquet Club
The lawns will open mid to late April depending on new seed germination; but we may extend into October depending on weather.
Both clubhouse and equipment shed will be moving to WSSCC in March.
Club days will now have a draw at 10:00am and 2:00pm to mix up players. We will try to have a facilitator on club days to help/coach players.
Association club day is Tuesday 10:00am and 2:00pm
Golf Croquet will have club days on Wed 10:00am and 2:00pm and Thursday 10:00am only
There will be an online booking system for both lawns
The annual subsrciption for 2020 will be £110 pa (£80 from July)
Visitors fees will be £5 per day
There will be a junior/student fee of £30 pa.
There will be a scholarship scheme for junior/student members who attend regularly, play friendlies, etc as decided by the committee.
There will be publicity campaigns to recruit new members in local newsletters, exhibitions, and local groups such as schools, U3A, and WI
There are two taster sessions planned on 4th May, and 22nd May with follow on coaching if interested.
The new club logo was shown with badges and/or badged white polo shirts available from Stylish Stitches
There were awards for internal competitions last year: Jonathan Powe 26pt AC, Rosemary Gugin 14pt AC, Steve Leonard GC
Rosemary Gugin spoke about her happy times at Bath CC and KMCC and sadness at having to give up the sport after 37 years.
The new mower was unpacked and fired up for the first time.
