If you have not played croquet before, we would suggest a free trial session. Contact the
to arrange a mutually convienient time. All you need is to wear a pair of flat shoes. Alternatively, drop in to a club day, 1.30pm to 5.30pm on Monday or Wednesday, or 10.30am to 1.30pm on Thursday. On Saturdays the club session is now from 10.00am to 12.30pm and you would be welcome, any time, from 10.30am.
There is car parking at the lawns.Most newcomers to the club then sign up for a months "taster" membership at £25. If, as we hope, you then feel that you would like to become a full member of LCC, you pay a full membership fee, pro-rata for the remainder of the current season (i.e. 1/2 annual membership half way through the season).
The full membership year runs from 28th February and (for the 2022 to 2023 season) is £160.
New players normally start by using club owned mallets but, once having become full members, purchase their own. Advice can be provided on suitable local mallet makers or use the
Croquet Association 'online' shop.
We wear "whites" for matches and club competitions but new members are NOT expected to buy a full kit from the start. Whatever you possess that is white, cream or light coloured will do to start with. In time, white trousers, white top or jumper and a white fleece are desirable and many members own white waterproof clothing obtained from bowls or sailing shops.
