Nailsea & District Croquet Club was formed in 1981 and is now well-established as a centre of excellence. There are four full-size lawns that are maintained to a high standard having been levelled in 2017. The two forms of competitive croquet, Association Croquet and Golf Croquet, are played at Nailsea. The Club is frequently used by Croquet England and the Welsh Croquet Association as a venue for high level events, including Internationals, for both codes. We have a clubhouse with facilities and a carpark. The playing season is from 1 April until the end of October, weather permitting.
We welcome new members of any standard of play – from beginner to International level.
BEGINNERS:
For anyone wishing to take up croquet as a beginner, we offer a 6 week trial membership for £20. This includes coaching on the basic skills of croquet and introductory coaching on the two codes of croquet (Golf Croquet and Association Croquet)
Beginners will be able to come and practise during their 6 week membership, with support from one of our members, as well as attending club afternoons. If this sounds interesting please click on the link and complete the form or contact Erica on ericacroquet@gmail.com or 07754 092800
We also have a junior section for children 9 and over. Croquet often suits children and teen-agers who haven't been interested by the other sports and who relish the chance to use individual tactics as well as playing on a team.
We provide all equipment, but we do ask you to wear flat soled shoes. Nailsea and District Croquet Club, with its 4 beautiful sized lawns, is a great place to learn how to play croquet competitively or just for pleasure.
Croquet is a great sport and it suits a wide range of people. It offers them all fresh air, physical and mental exercise, fun and friendship. For many, it’s a completely new hobby that might take them to some beautiful places both locally or the other side of the world. Other new players might prefer to stay in Nailsea and enjoy the internal competitions - or just play socially.
EXPERIENCED PLAYERS. Players who already have some experience of playing croquet are most welcome.
