Croquet

The Kerikeri Croquet Club commenced its 2019/20 season on Thursday, September 5, with the "running of the first hoop" which was executed in fine style by Nita Neave, a past member who was instrumental in raising money for equipment, shelters and buildings for their move from The Domain in Kerikeri Township to Cherry Park House.

Unfortunately, the lawns were extremely wet from the weather we have been enduring of late, so consequently games could not be played afterwards. However, a special delivered morning tea was enjoyed by all who attended.
