All the internal competitions are now on the notice board. They are also on the website
Please check the play by dates and try and adhere to them. If you are unable to play, time extensions should be agreed with Roger Sutton.
Remember when playing internal matches play in whites so that other members know you are playing a match.
Any withdrawal from any competition must be notified to me before removing you name from the board.
Withdrawal from block format matches after you have played some of your matches can prove to be very unfair to remaining players. Please therefore complete your commitments even if you are no longer in the running for a place. If you withdraw from one competition without good reason you may be asked to withdraw from all other competitions.
I am now taking entries for the Drawn Pairs which are now on Tuesday 11th June.. For new members this is a tournament where high handicap players are drawn with lower handicap players. It is a handicap tournament. The draw for partners takes place on the day. Please enter by either writing you name on the sheet on the notice board or by e mailing roger@sussexcountycroquetclub.org.uk

For prizes in the Final at Surbiton CC on Sunday, 12th May 2019
£10 donation (or voluntary in excess), payable on the day
Tea available after play
We all know somebody who has been afflicted by dementia. This wonderful charity provides information, advice, support and funds research. The house colour of the charity is blue and all players in heats and the final are encouraged to wear something | blue |.
The C A back us. Quiller Barratt, the President, is keen to place an emphasis on raising funds for our chosen charity. There is now a Just Giving page (www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cob2019). It can be used for all other donations, such as people who want to donate extra or players who would like to enter your heat but cannot.
We have to be careful to preserve the ability of our chosen charities to claim Gift Aid on our donations. So please be clear to those entering your heat that we are seeking a donation and suggest at least £5 per head. I know that many heat organisers supplement this by raffles and other fund-raising and the average per head last year, when the Downs-Syndrome Association benefited by over £5300 (including Gift Aid), was about £9.
