Our Introduction to Croquet course provides a full introduction to the two main varieties of croquet. Each course is two days, either Saturday 26th/Sunday 27th orTuesday 29th/Wednesday 30th April.. Don't worry if you know nothing about croquet - this course is designed for you! Or if you have played croquet before, perhaps in the garden, but aren't really sure about all the rules, then come along - we'll teach you everything you need to know. These courses will be run by a qualified coach and last from 10am to 4pm including a break for lunch and several tutored play sessions. We're running this course twice in April, but if the dates don't suit you please contact us at coaching@tunbridgewellscroquet.org.uk and we'll see what we can arrange. PS Your membership fee for the year will be reduced to £30 if you decide to join the club and pay at the end of the course. Information Source: Royal Tunbridge Wells Croquet Club | eventbrite
