Narrogin Croquet Club

Narrogin Croquet Club is a sports club located in the Town of Narrogin, Western Australia. The club, situated behind the Narrogin Bowling Club, offers a friendly and inclusive environment for individuals interested in playing croquet.

The club features three courts, all of which are equipped with lights, allowing members to play in the evenings. Playing days and times vary according to seasons, so it is advised to contact one of the committee members for the most up-to-date information.

President Jill Nottle leads the committee, which also includes Vice President Malcolm Poultney, Secretary Deborah Hughes-Owen, Treasurer Bob Clark, Club Captain Anne Betteley, Vice Captain Sandra O’Neill, and Handicapper Peter McKenna.

Narrogin Croquet Club offers two forms of croquet: Association Croquet and Golf Croquet. Association Croquet is the international version of the sport and is popular among tournament players. It is played by two players or sides, each with two balls. The objective is to score 12 hoop-points and a peg-point with each ball before the opponent does the same.

Skilled players can strategically outwit their opponents and complete the game in as few as two turns.

Golf Croquet, on the other hand, is a game with a rich history and has recently experienced a resurgence of interest. It has simpler rules compared to Association Croquet, with each turn consisting of a single stroke. Players progress through a course, contesting each hoop one by one. As soon as one hoop is scored, all players move on to the next.

Despite its simplicity, Golf Croquet requires accuracy and tactical awareness.

The Narrogin Croquet Club welcomes players of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced players. Whether individuals are looking for a casual game or are interested in participating in tournaments, the club provides ample opportunities for enjoyable croquet experiences.
