Welcome to the Wellington Municipal Croquet Club

 

End of Season Lunch and Prize Giving

On a glorious calm and sunny Saturday we rolled out the BBQ for those all important sausages to add to the large quantities of yummy food supplied by our members. President Dick Smith said a few words and then presented the trophies for completed events to those winners present. Congratulations to you all.

Coming Up

The end of the summer season

The 2024-25 summer season officially closes on Saturday 12th April. Join your fellow club members for Trophy presentations and a shared lunch at 12 noon between the GC and AC draws. Don’t forget to bring something yummy to eat!

The beginning of the winter season

As usual we roll seamlessly into the winter season on Sunday 13th. No changes in start times or the format of the club draws at this stage.

Club Competitions

A good number of these are completed, but unfortunately not all. The remaining competitions are pretty much in their final stages, so don’t lose momentum. There’s no reason why they can’t be finished by the end of April. To expedite this all knockout rounds have been reduced to single games.

Club Captain’s Winter Challenge

The GC Winter Challenge - advantage handicap will commence in late April / early May. Please enter on-line here or write your name on the whiteboard at the club. Entries close 26 April 2025.

AGM Saturday 31 May 

To be held at 12 noon between GC and AC draws. All members are strongly encouraged to attend. Please think about whether you'd like to contribute to the Committee in any role - several people on the Executive are planning to stand down so there'll be openings for a new Secretary, Treasurer, vice-President, Club Captain and other roles. If you're interested, have chat with any current committee people about what's involved. Nomination forms for all Committee positions will be available on the noticeboard towards the end of April. The AGM Agenda, including Nominations for Positions and any Resolutions, will be sent to all members in mid-May. If you have a Resolution you wish to present to members for a vote please send it to the Secretary by 12 May (or discuss with a Committee member) so it can be included on the Agenda in time, as required under the new Incorporated Societies Act.

Winter subs

Winter subs are due now - your summer sub membership entitles you to a winter rate of only $75 for the winter season (mid-April - mid-Sept). Deposit direct to the Club bank account ASB 12-3481-0023572-00 with your name & winter sub as reference. Or you can 'pay per play' at $5 for the day if you don't think you'll play very often.
