(STICKY - Placeholder) Examples: Great Club Facilities & Maintenance (Videos) G'day Facility Fans! Seeing how other croquet clubs manage their grounds, maintain their clubhouse, look after crucial equipment, or successfully complete facility upgrades can provide great practical insights. This space is reserved for sharing real-world examples of excellent facility and equipment management from clubs around Queensland. We plan to add content here, including: Videos: Showcasing clubs with beautifully maintained courts, efficient clubhouse operations, clever equipment storage or maintenance routines, or completed facility improvement projects. Tips & Tricks: Sharing practical ideas for groundskeeping, maintenance schedules, or planning for asset replacement (like that essential mower!). Case Studies: Written examples detailing successful facility projects or innovative maintenance solutions. Learning from each other helps us all take better care of the physical assets that make playing croquet possible! Stay tuned – we'll update this topic with examples as they become available! (Content Coming Soon!)

26052025 Range Croquet Maleny Report Prepared by David Kerr Our Hoops and High Tea event last Saturday was a sweet success thanks to people from groups including the showground dog walkers, Zonta, a local church, and family and friends. Few if any had tried croquet before and many later commented on how it is a joyful challenge. Some will be coming back to take advantage of the six free lessons that our club offers. That offer is always open to others should you like to give it a go. The day also featured a morning tea worthy of a royal visit. This was supplied by club members who also participated in setting up for the day on and off the courts. Thanks to those ladies! Our club players are doing well in the Sunshine Coast regional Ricochet competition, where Maleny leads after five matches. Ricochet players are Dianne Horsman, Sarah Widin and Sam Oaten. In the Association Croquet, club champion Donna Manning recently competed in a Croquet Queensland event at Toombul, the “eights and the sixes”, coming a close third – well done Donna. Our winter playing hours are as follows: coaching from 8:00am to 10:00am on Saturdays, Association on Thursdays and Sundays from 1:30pm to 4pm, Ricochet on Tuesdays (8am for an 8.30 start) and Golf Croquet 8am (as arranged). To find out more about learning croquet or how our club could provide a fun activity for your group or work team please contact President Sarah Widin on 0417640704.

Hi Judy, Thanks for also expressing interest in helping with this task. Marilyn will be in contact today to have a chat about it.

I used the grant assistant to apply for donations for our painting project through the Australian Sports Federation for Eildon. We had some success but we could have advertised more widely. Megan
