I am in the process of upgrading the site so that it becomes mobile compliant. This is a significant amount of work and may take some time.
In the meantime the experience on a mobile device will not be as good as it should be. If you find it difficult there is a simpler layout available using the address: www.sussexcountycroquetclub.org.uk/mobile

Here are the results of the 14pt AC handicap tournament held on 7 - 9th August 2015.
Two pleasant days of association croquet enjoyed at Southwick by a small band of 10 players! The tournament should have been 3 classes but it was reduced to a single Swiss format event for the B class trophy (Scott Cup)
Five rounds were played which resulted in three players, David Boyd, Philip Windred and John Taylor, ending on four wins each, two not having played each other.
The Manager would have liked to have declared all three winners (and said so) but having only one cup and having already indicated that quality of wins would be used, awarded the cup to John Taylor.
Everyone won at least one game and all went home (I hope) contented!

The AC format had to be changed shortly before the event due to a cancellation & Mark Hamilton kindly offered to step down so that we had even numbers enabling a Swiss format tournament played over 5 x 3 hour games.
David Boyd of Rother Valley played strongly all weekend and won all his games. SCCC’s Daphne Gaitley played extremely well and won all her games except the one against David Boyd.
Myra Gosney, long-time member of the Club has died. Rest in Peace.
Myra was a regular and much-loved player in the Club. She won a number of tournaments and trophies: the Hazel Parker Salver and Pat Shine Salvers in 1994 (the latter with Peter, her late husband), through to the New Challenge Cup in 2004. A feisty lady with an engaging sense of humour, Myra was a regular player in SE Federation events and the Ladies Day competition in particular.
