150th Anniversary at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club
|
10 Apr 2018
|
2018 sees the 150th anniversary at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club- now more famous for the Wimbledon Tennis Championship. Any croquet player of course is aware that the club started out as a Croquet Club before evolving into the Tennis Championship. The club is having a exhibition of its 150 years at the museum, including a section on croquet titled 'Through the Hoops: croquet at Wimbledon'. The exhibition runs from the 22nd of March 2018 to the 3rd of February 2019.
Here at the shop we list some historic prints including a interesting one of croquet at the All England Club. Originally published in 1870 by The London Illustrated News this print is at £6.00 including delivery.

We are looking out on lawns covered by snow and next week the Cheltenham Club lawns are closed for maintenance. So, unfortunately, although the shop is open customers will not be able to try out our mallets on the lawns.
Lawns will be open, dependent on weather from the 12th March.

The Croquet Association is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark

member of the Nailsea and Cheltenham clubs. His 2017 season culminated

10 Jan 2018
|
We would like to wish a very happy new year for our customers at the Croquet Association. We are well aware that a bit of cold weather (frost permitting!) does not stop a hardy croquet player in the winter months. At the shop we can offer a wide range of fleeces, pullover jumpers and reversible gillets to help keep you warm through the winter. These can be found in the Croquet clothing section of the shop.
