Although the changeable weather has been playing havoc with the opening events of the new croquet season, a large number of students from Kaitaia College enjoyed a marvellous day at a local club earlier this month.

Over 80 students attended an introductory course at the Kaitaia Croquet Club on the day. The course was taken by Greg Bryant from Wellington, a New Zealand representative and the Croquet NZ development officer. Many of the students said they were amazed at the skill required, but still thought the tactical game was fun and expressed the desire to play again which they hoped will take place sooner rather than later.

Bryant was also reportedly very pleased to see how quickly the students picked up the fundamentals. He hoped that there would be enough interest to develop a team to represent Kaitaia College at the secondary school championships in the future.

Kaitaia Croquet Club club captain Clyde Wood said the students' keenness to progress further in the sport would be well worth following up on: "One class said they wanted to come here for their end-of-year break up."
