Ryde Sports Foundation Golf Croquet Competition and Presentation Day
The Golf Croquet competition was held at the Club on Saturday, 10 April and originally there were 16 players, making 8 teams. High bisque players were teamed with low bisque players, with the selection being made by Ruby Blissett and only known on the morning of the competition. However, due to some urgent family considerations and a painful thumb injury to Barbara Simeon, only 6 teams competed. Ruby and Cathe Sparrow were timekeeper and scorer. Even though play was delayed for half an hour, all games were completed. The scores were very even and the competition was only decided with the last game, with the winners emerging as Ruth Bridgwood and Margaret Cruikshank. Congratulations to all participants for good sportsmanship.
Presentation Day was held on Saturday, 24 April, with Association Croquet being played in the morning and Golf Croquet played in the afternoon by 24 members. The Foundation’s inscribed trophy, medals and certificates were presented to all participants by the President of the Ryde Sports Foundation, Mr Jim Hull and the Secretary, Mrs Neita Matthews. Everyone enjoyed our usual lavish afternoon tea and thanks to members for their assistance.
