B Level Challenges
A golf croquet and association croquet tournament for B level players on the same weekend made for a very good turnout on the lawns. Unfortunately the weather was less welcoming, with cold driving wind and rain on Saturday. Still, the sun came out on Sunday, jackets came off and everyone felt better.
The Association Croquet competition was organised as a Swiss and was won by Richard Jackson from Southwick, who won all five games. The runner-up was Paul Wolff.
Association Winner Richard Jackson

We were pleased to welcome a contigent of players in the Golf Croquet competition from Sweden and Latvia, who stayed on in Brighton after the WCF Coaching Courses. The GC competition was won by Janis Steins from Latvia (8/11 wins in an American block). The runner-up was Andrew Dymond, also 8/11 wins.

There was a small celebration afterwards as we all enjoyed a glass of the Latvian liqueur they generously gave the club.
