Booking a Lawn
All play must be booked through the Club’s lawn booking system. Each member joining will be registered and given a log-in and temporary password. It is recommended that you change your password when you log in the first time.
The booking system is based on a calendar. Except on Mondays when the local U3A group plays, there are three sessions available for booking on every day:
- Mornings (10.30-13.30)
- Afternoons (14.00-17.00)
- Evenings (17.30 to dusk)
To book a session, select the day on which you wish to play. This opens the page for that day showing the slots available. Click on the next available slot for your chosen session and this takes you to the booking page.
The number of players permitted to play in any session must be in accordance with the Covid-19 protocol.
It is the responsibility of all members and visitors to act in accordance with the Government’s current Covid-19 Regulations at all times.
Club Days
A Club Day will be held from 2pm on the last Saturday of each month for a gathering of Members to play croquet followed by afternoon tea.
This season, we will be running a Club Day doubles competition. New pairings will be drawn on each Club Day, and over the season the number of games won by each participant will be accumulated to determine the winner.
Social Members are particularly welcome to join us on these days, and are invited to participate on up to three occasions.
Club Shirts
Arrangements are in place for the Club’s logo to be embroidered on Members’ shirts at County Cups. It is located in Unit 8, Clifton Street, Lincoln, LN5 8LQ near Pelham Bridge. The cost is about £6 per item including VAT.
Shirts can also be supplied by County Cups. Ring 01522 541628 or email sales@countycups.co.uk for more information.
Visitors
Visitors are very welcome. Green fees are £3/session and visitors can play up to 4 sessions in a season. The names and contact details of visitors must be pre-booked and recorded in the visitors book. Flat soled shoes must be worn on the lawns.
Anyone who subsequently wishes to join will have any green fees paid in the season deducted from their subscription.
Group Hire
The lawns are available for hire to individuals, groups or companies. All equipment is provided. It is possible to play up to 24 people on the lawns although numbers on the lawns at any one time may be limited by the number of mallets available. Instruction is given on how to play the game. Flat soled shoes must be worn on the lawns.
