Croquet

I started playing Golf Croquet in April 1997, when I joined Tynemouth Castle and Priory Golf Croquet Club. Tynemouth Castle and Priory is an English Heritage site.
In 1998 I also joined Tyneside Croquet Club and took up Association Croquet. My current handicap is 2.5.

In 2000 I represented England in the World Golf Croquet Championship in Cairo, where I finished 24th.

I finished 29th in this year's World Golf Croquet Championship in West Palm Beach.
