Today Tuesday we were treated to a luncheon in the shade area after croquet which consisted of sandwiches and fruit together with an array of juices.

It was a lovely get together on our last day of Golf Croquet for 2025.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the social get together which is a prelude to our luncheon and prizegiving which is to be held next Tuesday upstairs at the Forbes Inn.

We have to commend Peter Ashcroft of All You Want Party Hire for the catering.

Take care. Stay safe.
