Hey everyone,
David wants to let you know about something exciting happening at the Guildford and Godalming Croquet Club. Nestled in the Broadwater Sports Club on Guildford Road, Godalming, the club is open to croquet lovers of all levels. Whether you’ve never held a mallet before, or you're a seasoned player, or just want to relive some garden croquet memories, this club is for you.
David says croquet isn't just for posh lawns anymore; it's a fun, competitive game that’s great for making new friends while keeping a bit of distance. Players of all ages, genders, and skill levels can get involved, thanks to a handicap system that levels the field.
No need to worry about gear – the club provides everything. Just bring some flat soled shoes and you’re set.
The club offers two main types of croquet: Golf Croquet, which is fast, sociable, and easy to pick up in 10 minutes, and Association Croquet, which is a bit more complex and strategic, a bit like snooker.
David also mentioned that the club hosts various tournaments and competitions for members to showcase their skills. They keep a roll of honour to celebrate achievements, so there's always something to aim for.
The facilities are top-notch. There are four full-sized purpose-built croquet lawns, all well-maintained, as well as a cosy clubhouse with changing rooms, showers, and a kitchen for a proper cuppa between games.
The club is easy to find on Guildford Road in Godalming. For those curious about its history, there’s a brief overview available which shows its growth over the years. Clear governance policies are in place to keep things fair and inclusive for everyone.
Coaching is available if you want to polish your skills or start from scratch. David and the team offer several membership options to suit different schedules and preferences.
Groups are welcome too. If you fancy a day of croquet with friends or colleagues, just reach out to arrange it. David encourages anyone interested to visit or get more info on how to join.
In short, the Guildford and Godalming Croquet Club is a lively, inclusive place for croquet fans in Godalming. With great facilities, a mix of games, and a friendly vibe, it’s a perfect spot for people from all walks of life to come together and enjoy the sport.
Cheers,
David
