Wriggle Valley Ladies Group

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and I do hope you all had a good Christmas under the circumstances. Spring is just around the corner. Having been out for a walk this morning and seen daffodils, snowdrops, and celandines out (which you probably have poking through in your gardens), I feel it’s not far away. Hopefully, we will be meeting up in the not too distance future having had all our Covid jabs. Take care all!

Yetminster Croquet Club

Come and join the Yetminster Croquet Club which has two lawns, one full size and the other half size, situated at the Yetminster Sports Club. Our season extends from mid-April to the end of October and we meet each week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 3.00–5.00pm.

Covid regulations allowed us to play during lockdown last year and we can expect to have a full season in 2021. We welcome new players, all ages, so come and give it a try – something to look forward to next season.

The Club has been in existence for ten years and we play Golf rather than Association Croquet, a much simpler and more sociable form of the game. It is very easy to learn and newcomers are normally able to join a foursome on first appearance at the Club, after being shown how to strike the ball.

All equipment is provided by the Club although several members have their own mallets, and dress is optional though trainers are recommended.
