I have temporarily hidden the calendar box as I have not had time to populate it with forthcoming events. Sorry!
Threatening skies and waterlogged lawns greeted the players today at the start of the Alternate Strokes Competition at Southwick.
Let's hope it improves.
(At least the Manager was in the dry!)
Sunday morning:
Play was abandonned yesterday afternoon due to water-logged lawns. Today starts with the Hemmings in the lead with 3 wins out of 3 games and three rounds to go.
Some sunshine at last!
Results
Georgeen and Colin Hemming maintained their leading position, despite losing one game to Pat and Richard Jackson. Second place was taken by Jane Collier and Ann Brookes, so the event proved to be an all-Colchester affair!

Hopefully a fuller report in due course.
Southwick had new bar staff for the occasion - see Photos section
From the Tunbridge Wells Croquet Club website:
30th June - Richard Brooks wins the Montevideo Cup
The Montevideo Cup is the name of the trophy for our one day Golf Croquet tournament, genrously donated by the 2011 winner Jonathan Lamb, who happens to live there! Luckily the weather was also kind to us, with no showers after play started and the sun countering the blustery wind. In addition Jonathan had persuaded another Uruguayan resident to play in his first GC tournament, so making up a full complement of 12 players.
Richard returned after his second place in our earlier GC tournament and turned out the winner this time, beating Jonathan 7-5 in the final game, having lost to him in the 6-round Swiss qualifier. In fact Richard was the clear winner, since Jonathan has lost to Keith Webb earlier.
Full results are:
| Player | Handicap | Club | Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Richard Brooks | 1 | Sussex County | 6 |
| Jonathan Lamb | 1 | Uruguay | 5 |
| Jon Diamond | 1 | TW | 4 |
