There are not a lot of things more fun than a game of croquet at the Pottsville Croquet Club with a group of players dedicated to promoting camaraderie, outdoor activity, and of course, the joy of playing croquet.
Since their establishment in 2018, the club has promoted croquet as a sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels, and they are always delighted to welcome new members.
Club player Brenda Hayes says there are many reasons that people should consider joining the club. ‘We are a welcoming community at the Pottsville Croquet Club, we pride ourselves on our warm and inclusive atmosphere.
Fun for everyone
‘Croquet is fun for everyone – whether you’re a seasoned player or a complete beginner, croquet offers a unique blend of strategy, skill, and friendly competition. Our club provides opportunities for players of all levels to learn, improve, and enjoy the game at their own pace.’
Brenda says croquet is a fantastic way to stay active while enjoying the great outdoors. ‘It offers a gentle form of exercise that engages both the body and the mind.
‘We also have social events beyond the joy of playing croquet, our club organises a variety of events and friendly matches throughout the year. These gatherings are perfect opportunities to forge new friendships, create lasting memories, and strengthen our sense of community.’
