Warm welcome on chilly day

The weather in Warwick on Tuesday was more than a little chilly but there was nothing but a warm welcome from the members of the Warwick Croquet Club for the four visiting players from Stanthorpe.

The visitors Grace Howard, Sharon Roser, Pauline Smith and

Jenny Turnbridge joined the Warwick players in games of Association play.

Peter Campbell partnering Grace Howard had a 20-12 win over Tony Hinde and Sharon Roser.

Pauline Smith and Dorothy Gartery scored and 18-16 win over Jenny Turnbridge and Jill Birtwhistle inn a close game.

Grace Howard and Clare Cotton recorded a 14-12 win in their game against Lesley Grayson.

Jenny Turnbridge took on Julie Grayson and Dorothy Gartery scoring a 17-13 win and in the final game Lesley Grayson and Clare Cotton conjured a narrow 14-12 win over Sharon Roser and Pauline Smith.

The cold condition continued on Thursday for the regular Golf Croquet players. There were plenty of players on the lawn and no-one seemed overly concerned about the icy conditions. The conditions certainly did not faze Barb Morrison who scored Two Hole in one during the course of the afternoon.
