Information for those new to the Duty Rota

Access

The keys and the croquet equipment are kept in the cupboard (old wardrobe) in the building housing the squash courts and gym.  This is the first building as you approach the Rugby Club clubhouse.  The door is on an entry lock and the current code is XXXXX

The light switch is immediately to the left of the door and the cupboard is at the far left of the entrance corridor.  Mallets, balls, pegs, clips and bisques (kept in a fabric bag) are currently stored in the cupboard with the keys.  There are plans to make a cupboard beneath the shelf opposite to house equipment.

Please remember to switch off the lights and lock the door when you leave if there is no one else in the building.

Equipment

There are 4 lawns in use so please take sufficient sets of balls up to the lawns. In good weather please allow for 2 games per lawn, ie a main set (blue, red, black, yellow) and a secondary set (green, pink, brown, white) for each lawn. Please check that there are matching clips and an extension to the peg with each set – these items often fall off! Please select a variety of mallets to take up so that members and prospective members have a choice of length, weight etc.  Not all the equipment may be needed but it is much more welcoming to new and prospective members to have it on hand than have to drive off to get more. 

Keys

The croquet club keys are kept on a yellow wooden ring with a single black and red stripe. There are fewer keys on our set than on a similar wooden ring of keys which belongs to the bowling club.  The very short square key opens the padlock on the gates.  Other keys open the hut and the portaloo.

Setting up

Please leave the padlock in situ when you open the gate. The keys need to be taken up to the lawns.

Those on duty may drive round the edge of the rugby pitches and bowling club and park on the rough grass between the lawns and the shed.  Unload the equipment and set up 2 or 3 pegs - not all the equipment taken up may be needed so you may wish to leave some of it in the car.  Please put out a few chairs by the lawns – these are kept in the hut.

Croquet hoops are left in situ; if the lawns have just been mown then they may need to be put back.

Welcome

Please look after new members and welcome any prospective members.

 

Finally

After all that hard work relax and enjoy your game. You do not have to return all the equipment or lock up, though we do ask you to return any equipment in your car as you leave and also to check that no clips or peg extensions are rolling around your car boot. 

If you leave whilst others are still playing then please leave the keys with them so they can lock up and return the rest of the equipment.
