Compton Croquet Club held their 125th Anniversary at the Saffrons on Saturday 11th May. This well established and successful club has been at the Saffrons since 1906 and the well attended event was opened by the Mayoress of Eastbourne in glorious summer weather. Saffrons was at its best in the sunny weather and the buzz of afternoon summer visitors could be felt with the croquet and cricket being played on these glorious grounds.

Our 5 lawns were extremely busy with members and potential new members playing social games and trying out their skills at croquet. Previous members and existing members watched on as the visitors tried their newly found skills including the Mayoress who showed great potential scoring on several hoops despite never playing before.

Various stalls of pot plants, cake stalls and the sounds of a band made it an occasion to remember and close to £1000 was raised for the club funds.

This is the time that we welcome new members to the club and over 20 potential members will be trying the " taster programme" of 3 free trial afternoons with our club coaches . Anybody who has any interest in joining the programme should contact Jill Manton at comptonccmembership#gmail.com
