Maleny Range Croquet report

Prepared by David Kerr

May this year of 2025 be a safe and prosperous time for everyone! And it’s not too late to make a new year’s resolution, eg to try something different. If you’re after a local outdoor activity that is easy to pick up and easy on the body, then croquet could be for you!

Recently the club has regular social play slightly disrupted by the rain and people being away. But we are now getting into the swing for what will be an exciting year.

Last Sunday’s social game saw Sarah and Helen (8) teaming up against Wallace (9), while Dianne (10) just had the better of Nic (8). So, some close games which will be a sign of things to come.

Golf croquet is to become a regular offering at the Range Club in 2025. This form of the game has “taken off” around the country and will be played socially and competitively at our club. To get us on the front foot we had the benefit of a golf croquet skills’ workshop recently. Two representative players from the Sunshine Coast, Dick Byers and Alison Oatway generously spent time with club members. Thankyou to Dick and Alison!
