It was a germ of an idea from a small dedicated group of locals who obtained a 50 year lease from the Moreton in Marsh Town Council for a piece of waste land that was allotments many years ago.
Funds were raised to clear enough space for three croquet lawns, flattening and seeding the land, fencing the area and buying equipment for playing and upkeep.
The club, a member of the National Croquet Association, is fully constituted with an elected committee.
We have two qualified coaches and a referee who are carrying out free coaching and taster sessions. This year we will be entering tournaments and meeting up with other croquet clubs.
When we have suitable facilities we will increase our playing sessions from the present three per week.
