2024 YARALLA OPEN DAY
Reporting on Strathfield Croquet Club's Contribution to the Open Day at Yaralla, Sunday, 27 October, 2024
- by Ruth Bridger
Ruth Bridger, ably assisted by Allan Petersen, Marilyn McDonald, Pauline Atkinson and Margaret Orr, hosted a croquet event at the Yaralla Open Day in October. The team demonstrated a variety of codes, encouraging visitors to try their hand, all with a view to promoting our sport and our club.
As well as the photographic exhibitions, the stables, squash court and dairy, a feature of the Open Day is the walking tours led by members of the Canada Bay Historical Society. The tours are proving popular. In all, about 150 people registered to take a tour. We met some of these visitors and they had interesting tales to tell. One family group spoke of their ancestor, who had worked at the Estate when Dame Eadith resided there.
As Yaralla is such a vast property, all who came would have had absorbed the sense of tranquillity and space. No doubt, the visitors will spread the word about what they saw and experienced on the day.
Croquet returns to Yaralla
A Demonstration of Gateball
Geoff Ashton, President of the City of Canada Bay Heritage Society, was delighted to have Strathfield Club return croquet to Yaralla after over 100 years. He noted this was Strathfield Croquet Club’s fourth visit to Yaralla with the first being in 2011. Geoff said he would be delighted if we could attend their next Open Day, on Sunday 27th April 2025.
