Paraparaumu Croquet Club Inc

The Paraparaumu Croquet Club Inc warmly invites individuals in the local community to embrace the wonderful world of croquet. As an avid supporter of this timeless sport, the club organises regular 'Have a Go' days, where you can gather your loved ones and give the game a shot. No need to worry about equipment, as all the gear will be provided. Just remember to bring along a comfy pair of flat soled shoes.

At Paraparaumu Croquet Club, there are two exciting varieties of croquet to explore. Association Croquet (AC) is akin to the thrilling game of snooker, but with a twinge of grassy goodness. On the other hand, Golf Croquet (GC) is perfect for beginners and those who prefer a more relaxed pace. In GC, players take turns skilfully striking their balls towards the target. It's like a putting competition, but way cooler.

If you're unsure about which mallet suits your fancy, fear not! The club encourages you to experiment with different club mallets before committing to your own. Hey, finding the perfect tool is an important part of the game, right?

The club has not one, but two distinct seasons in which you can indulge in your croquet adventures. Summer stretches from mid-August all the way through early May. And during winter, we share the fun with our friends at Waikanae. So no matter the time of year, the club is ready to welcome players of all levels and ages.

For those who are new to croquet, don't worry about feeling lost. The club provides comprehensive instructions and helpful guides to get you started on this exciting journey. And if you're keen to join the club or participate in one of the awesome 'Have a Go' days, simply reach out to any of the friendly committee members. They'll be more than happy to assist you.

Oh, one more important thing to note: flat soled footwear is an absolute must to protect the delicate playing surface. So please make sure to stick to those trusty flats when entering the croquet arena.

So, don't miss out on the chance to be a part of the Paraparaumu Croquet Club. Embrace the thrill of croquet, make new friends, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Get in touch with the committee today, and let the good times roll!
