If you are new to the game, check the calendar and come to one of our free Teaching Clinics in June—no appointment required. For beginners and more experienced players alike, the calendar also lists several tournaments, workshops and other events throughout the summer for members. Novice, intermediate or expert, you will be welcome at the Croquet Club of Vermont. The season begins the first Monday in June. We look forward to seeing you on the courts! ------------------------------------------------ New officersThe following are our officers for 2012: Tad Richardson, President; Pat Colt, Vice President; Pam Marshall, Treasurer; Martha Ann Coleman, Secretary.

Read it on the resources page. ------------------------------------------------ Invitational TournamentThe club's invitational tournament was revived in 2001 to rave reviews from all participants, and it was a great success again in 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2006. We took a rest in 2005 and 2007, but we were back again in 2008, and we had our latest invitational tournament in 2010. Another is planned for 2012. See photos of our first invitational tournament in 1989, photos of our 2002 invitational (including a photo in the round, and photos of our 2010 invitational. See the calendar for details about other Club events for 2012. ------------------------------------------------ Hurricane IreneHurricane Irene flooded our croquet courts on August 28, 2011.

Thanks to quick thinking and hard work by Eph Shulman, the courts were quickly restored to their usual excellent condition. For the curious, here is what the courts looked like on the morning after, with thanks to club member Terry Moor:
