The competition had 16 entrants divided into 2 groups: 0-6 handicaps and 7-12 (max) handicaps.

The competition was played as a “round robin” with everybody playing 4 matches on Monday and 3 matches on Tuesday.

There were 4 immaculate croquet lawns including 1 which was totally enclosed by a beautiful walled garden!

It was our first tournament and after a slow start on Monday we improved on the 2nd day. However, “no cigar”!
