Welcome to the Nottingham Croquet Club website

The club welcomes new members, both beginnners and established players.

It has five full-sized lawns and a grade II listed pavilion in Highfields Park and caters for players ranging in strength from complete beginners to world class.  Membership is open to anyone interested in Croquet.

For people interested in taking up the sport, the club runs an Open Day each May, followed by a Learn to Play course.  This year, the open day has expanded to become an open weekend, in conjuction with a charity croquet marathon in support of Home Start.  There is also an earlier beginners' course, teaching Golf Croquet on Wednesday mornings starting on 18th April.

For established players it runs a range of club competitions each season, and a number of Tournaments that are also open to Visitors.  It has teams competing in three national competitions and won the Inter-Club Championship in 2010.  In 2011, the club won the Secretary's Shield, a national club event for the winners of Federation leagues the previous year, and was runner up in the Longman Cup, the national club competition for handicap play.  It hosted the President's Cup, a national event for the best eight available players, and three members of the club played in it.  One of its members won the 4th WCF Women's Golf Croquet World Championship.

Although the full facilities are only available to members, casual players can be accommodated if a lawn and member to assist them are available and social groups can be entertained by prior arrangement.  There is also a University Club.

The club is a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) registered with HMRC, and is a member of the Croquet Association, the national govering body for the sport, and the East Midlands Federation of Croquet Clubs.
