Captain’s Report

February 2026

The Twilight GC handicapped event was held this month over 3 evenings with 12 players
competing. It was a great success that involved players with different handicaps. Congratulations
to the winners Anne Hall and Sue Goh.
Makara Ricochet will commence next month with Strathfield players involved. A team for GC
pennants has also been organised.
Strathfield Hub facilitated a Gateball workshop facilitated by John and Penny Park, as the first
workshop for the year. 18 players attended from 6 clubs. This pilot workshop included
‘homework” using Google classroom. Then the majority of the session was conducted on the
lawns.
Players of the club competed at the Canberra Triple Gateball Competition. The team progressed
to the Gold playoffs.

Captain’s Report January 2026

Another year ! Hope everyone had a safe break during the Christmas period.!
This year commences with the GC twilight competition to be held on Monday and Friday evenings. Strathﬁeld hub activities commence in early February with a Gateball workshop.

Suggestions for workshops are always welcome.

This years calendar is now been organised with Ricochet H/low and GC club championships dates available soon on the website. Makara, Enid Brown and pennant competitions are organised. Hopefully new players will be interested. There is a folder with suggestions of external tournaments to encourage interest. It is a great opportunity to see other clubs and test their game against new players.

Strathﬁeld Croquet club is a vibrant club.It has a wonderful group of active players and many players that assist in diﬀerent ways to support the club. I hope this year more members will join this group and oﬀer their assistance. As a committee member I know who to ask for help, but it would be nice for some others to oﬀer.

Best wishes for 2026.!
