Range Croquet Club

THE Range Croquet Club has had a full and rewarding 2024. We’ve enjoyed some great croquet competitions, visited other croquet clubs, hosted visitors and national events and also acquired new skills. 

We competed in both Association Croquet and Ricochet Croquet competitions and acquitted ourselves well. We look forward to 2025 and growing our members. And next year for the first time, we are also competing in Golf Croquet against the other six Croquet Clubs on the Sunshine Coast. 

Our lawns have been rejuvenated with help from members and our groundsman Wallace. A special thank you to Mick from the Maleny Golf Club for his guidance and hard yakka that he and his team gave in time and sweat. 

Thank you to all the members for their contributions in volunteering, refereeing, providing food and having a great time on our lawns. May you all have a safe and Merry Christmas! 

Finally, did you know Croquet is a tactical and graceful game – ‘a mean game played by nice people.’ Come and meet the nice people at the Range Club and learn the art and skill of Croquet, a game for all ages.
