Croquet
It was a nice surprise this morning to see some yellow markings on the lawn beside our club house which means we are finally getting some progress from the council to build our new ramp giving access into the toilets, kitchen and storage sheds.
The stairs have been a health and safety issue for some time especially for older players. Hopefully our extended undercover area could be close behind.
This area will give us shelter from the wind and rain and will be at the opposite end of the shed.

Night competitions
Last week saw a shaky start to the games, with a small drizzle of rain before the games started at 6.
Unfortunately for our farmers the weather cleared quickly, and all games were able to be played.
Last week, Not Fast Just Furious did not supply an umpire for the first time, for their umpire allocation, and must pay the $50-00 fine before they can play this week.
The team will lose 2 two competition points, and give their opposition this week a five goal start.
All teams only have to supply one umpire when allocated and will have support from a badged umpire when doing their duty.
Without umpires, the games cannot be played.
All teams must read through the full draw for umpiring duties.
