Mixed Ages Croquet Open Day

A Typical Session

Open days at the Mount Albert Croquet Club welcome players of all ages and abilities for a relaxed introduction to croquet. The focus stays on social play, light exercise and enjoyment rather than competition, making the session ideal for first-timers and returning visitors alike.

Attendees spend the afternoon on the lawns learning the flow of Golf Croquet and trying Ricochet shots in a supportive group setting. Experienced members offer simple guidance while everyone rotates through games, chats between turns and shares tips. The gathering runs on the first Sunday of each month, giving people a regular monthly opportunity to drop in without commitment.

• Try Golf Croquet basics with clear explanations
• Practice Ricochet strokes in friendly matches
• Play at a pace that suits your own fitness level
• Meet other locals who enjoy outdoor games
• Receive hands-on pointers from club players
• Explore the lawns and clubhouse surroundings

Because the event is open to non-members, anyone can turn up, borrow equipment and join in straight away. The afternoon moves at a gentle rhythm, with time for conversation and breaks as needed.
