Nailsea & District Croquet Club
was started in 1981 and is now well-established as the only club within
20 miles with four international sized lawns. Club competitions and
leagues matches are held throughout the season and the Club hosts
tournaments for the Croquet Association and the South West Federation.
In 2005 NDCC was one of the host venues for the World Croquet
Championships . The Club also has a thriving Junior membership.
Players must wear flat-soled shoes but all other
equipment is provided free of charge.
Tuition, in the form of
6-lesson courses, is given free to members, but otherwise a small
charge is made to non-members (about £30). Players of all ages (10 to
110 !) are welcome, and physical fitness is not a criterion !

Wednesdays starting at 2.00 pm. Association Croquet is played, with
games arranged to provide a mix of ability and an opportunity to play
others at all levels.
On Monday afternoons, the
four lawns are reserved for Golf Croquet games.
The new season starts in April, but new members
are welcome at any time.
