Patricia Duke-Cox wishes to announce her retirement as President of Croquet England with effect from the end of the AGM in October 2025.

Having taken on the role of President of the Croquet Association when Quiller Barrett stood down in October 2022, overseeing AGMs in 2023, two in 2024, and 2025 she feels the time is right for another to provide relevant experience for a national charitable organisation and has much pleasure is proposing Jonathan Isaacs for that role.

Patricia says "I have been pleased to represent Croquet England within the Domain at major events and at club level with an emphasis on attending events that involve younger players such as Cuppers at Cambridge, Students championship at Oxford and the Schools and Juniors at Nottingham. In addition, it was an honour to have been invited and to attend celebrations for clubs' special occasions. Another privilege has been the invitation to attend meetings of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Board to keep abreast of current strategies."

Samir Patel responded "It has been a great pleasure to work with Patricia Duke-Cox during my term as Chair of the Board of Trustees of Croquet England. I have found her advice valuable as we have charted our course. I thank her for this contribution, and wish her a long and happy retirement."

Details of the process for election of a new President will be announced soon.
