Croquet On A Balmy September Evening

One of our Sixth Form tutor groups was introduced to the mysteries of croquet last week. Mr Paul Cleaver (Head of Art) reports further:

"On a delightfully balmy September evening, Miss Robyn Brandrick and myself accompanied my Sixth Form tutor group as guests at the Kenilworth Croquet Club for an introductory session in the fundamentals of the game. 

As the evening progressed and confidence grew, some of the games became quite tense as players employed some of the tactics involved and realised that smashing an opponent's ball out of the way was almost as satisfying as shooting a hoop. 

By the end of the evening, we were reluctant to leave and our perceptions of croquet had changed a great deal. The visit proved to be a great way of experiencing a new sport as well as allowing the students to get to know the members of their new form group. 

We would like to thank Mr John Copping for hosting us and the excellent coaching tips he and other club members imparted."
