Croquet
The Club has four full sized, well maintained croquet courts. Regular Mix-in GC sessions take place several times a week between April and October which visitors are welcome to attend.
Open and Club tournaments are run every year and teams or players are entered in the National All England GC and Grassroots competitions and also several Southern Croquet Federation Leagues and the Southern Challenge.
Ryde CC pioneered the new GC handicap game of Advantage in 2021 which is now played in a number of UK leagues and other events world-wide.
Most years we host a National Croquet Association tournament, some of which have included the All England Handicap Final, The President’s Cup and The Treasurer’s Tankard.
The Clubhouse and Croquet courts can be hired for private events and members can be on hand to explain the rudiments of the game.
