Many congratulations to Richard Bilton who, in an ad hoc partnership with croquet legend Reg Bamford, won the GC Open Doubles held at Sussex County Croquet Club, Southwick from 22nd to 23rd June. The doubles event included some of the highest ranked players in the country, including Rachel and Will Gee from our own club.
In the singles event, three Nottingham Croquet Club members, Richard Bilton, Rachel Gee and Euan Burridge, reached the quarter finals, and Bilton beat Bamford to reach the semi-finals before being knocked out by the eventual winner, Aston Wade.
