and welcome to the Ramsgate Croquet Club web site. Here you can
find out details of The Club's history and its activities.
In 2004 The Club celebrated it's 21st Anniversary with special
events and a lunch attended by the President of the Croquet Association
so as to commemorate The Club's foundation in 1983 at the Montefiore
Sports Ground.
In 1987 the Club was offered four lawns on the Royal Esplanade in
Ramsgate by Thanet District Council. Since then,with financial help
from the Council, the lawns have been relayed and are now amongst
the best in the country according to both UK and overseas visiting
players.
Club members play both Golf Croquet and Association Croquet.[see
About Croquet].
For both games the Club has nationally qualified coaches and tuition
is FREE as is the use of all equipment. It is a game which can be
played by all ages - our youngest member [see Juniors] is nine and
the oldest ninety! A handicap system ensures that players at all
levels can compete against each other.
See Contact page for details on how to find Ramsgate Croquet Club
The Club will be open for it's 2008 Season early April with the
President's Day on the 20th April.
The public are welcome on Tuesday mornings and for newcomers other
times by arrangement.
