January Update
January was a busy month at the lawns despite the lovely snow. The Saturday Social on the 25th Jan saw 8 members attend. A warming cuppa at lunchtime followed with lots of chat of all things croquet.
Winter jobs are coming to a completion. The electric improvements and certification has been done. Garage organisation of gardening equipment completed and quotes received for the roof repairs.
The Lawns and Ground Team have commenced their programme of works. The lawns 2,3 and 4 were aerated using our new machine. The old cobra mower was utilised to pick up all the plugs. It was noticed how quickly this work improved drainage on the west boundary. More recently the lawns have been sprayed with iron.
Other jobs have seen members offer their help in fixing the banner, washing the flag and producing a method for protecting the white-lining shed and mallet shed by making a water catchment system between the buildings.
The Committee are driving forward plans for improving the drainage in front of the clubhouse and entrance to our car park but the weather needs to improve so heavy equipment can be used.
A big thank you to all who have contributed with all this work.
Pendle and Craven Croquet Clubs programme of Tournaments had been published on CE website.
