Croquet is an enjoyable, sociable game that can be played by people of any age and of either sex.
Association Croquet is a game of complex strategy and high levels of skill, and is similar in many ways to games like snooker or pool.
Croquet’s effective handicap system recognises smart thinking as much as physical skill, so everyone has a good chance of winning.
As with any game, the best players probably start young, but many take it up after retiring from more energetic pursuits. It can be as skilful as you want it to be – advanced players can take it very seriously, but most club members probably see it as a relaxing and friendly way of passing an afternoon.
Shrewsbury Croquet Club has two full size lawns and is situated at Monkmoor Recreation Centre, Racecourse Crescent, Shrewsbury SY2 5BW.
Our playing season runs from the beginning of April to the end of September, and members are free to use the club equipment whenever they want.
If you interested in becoming a member please do contact the Club Secretary, Club Chair or one of the Club coaches who will meet with you and help assess what coaching you may (or may not) require.
