Croquet for Fun!
This one-day course looks at the lighter side of croquet and offers a potpourri of accessible games ideal for visiting groups, for Club summer dos and socials, and for light-hearted pleasure to fill any spare time at the end of Club sessions. Pirates is not the only alternative! We will also play a range of short games which successfully engage children in mallet sports – all proven to appeal to adults too. The day is for GC and AC players alike, and for players of any ability. Ramp up your sense of fun and be an ambassador for friendly, easy-to-learn games that bring a smile to the croquet lawn!
Become a Croquet England GC Referee
Becoming a GC Referee brings its own rewards. It improves your knowledge and understanding of the Rules, builds your confidence on the lawn, and helps others play to the rulebook. To help candidates learn the Rules, a 16-session WCF Online GC Rules Study Pack is available here: https://worldcroquet.org/online-rules-training-and-study-pack/ As an essential step in this blended learning course, candidates must also, before attending on 3 June, pass the two parts of an online, self-study, open book, multiple choice, immediate feedback, GC Rules Theory test which can be retaken if needs be until a pass is achieved: https://www.croquet.org.uk/?p=games/golf/rules/RulesQuiz The day of the course itself will be largely on-lawn and will include practical sessions on how to apply the Rules in various scenarios, followed by a short multiple choice Basic Test, and an on-lawn practical test. A pass in both the written exam and the practical test leads to a qualification as a registered Croquet England GC Referee and a red GC Referee badge.
