Further to Croquet at Edgbaston Croquet Club:
There are two possible scenarios here.
First is if we have a number of folk wanting to visit as a group, we would in effect count as a party at the Club. This could be done on a Saturday morning from 10am to 2pm, but there would be a charge of £10 per head, a minimum charge fr £80, and a £25 deposit (refundable unless we cancelled). Bear in mind that this means Club members volunteering their time to look after a party of folk and helping them to learn to play, plus covering wear and tear on equipment, etc - but it would mean we'd need at least 8 turn up to make the price £10 per head.
Alternatively, people can visit in ones and twos on a Saturday afternoon (which, incidentally, is a normal Club day forthe ECC) so that they can have a go and see if they're interested in joining the Club.
At this juncture, I know of three others with some degree of interest in croquet. If there's anyone else, please let me know by, say the end of next week (16th May), then we can work out whether there's enough would like to descend on the Edgbaston Croquet Club en masse to make that doable, otherwise, it'll be a case of each of us making arrangements to visit the ECC as indivuals as and when we can.
