A variation of the game known as "Paille Maille" was played in a field near St James Palace in the sixteenth century, which later became known as Pall Mall. The modern game appears to have started in England in the 1850s and quickly became popular. The Wimbledon All England Croquet Club was founded in 1868 and the National Championships were held there for a number of years until the croquet lawns were transformed into the tennis courts of today. This probably accounts for the fact that the size of a tennis court is exactly half that of a croquet lawn.

  • Croquet at Budleigh Salterton
    Croquet at Budleigh Salterton A short history of the Budleigh Salterton Croquet club by Roger Bowen. Although the Croquet Association was formed in 1897 there were many croquet clubs well before this time. The famous Wimbledon Croquet Club was in existence in 1870 some time before the invention of lawn tennis. Lawn tennis developed rapidly in popularity from the start. Its attraction was that it could be played on equal terms by both men and women and it was not long before many large gardens found space for a lawn tennis court. There is some doubt about the origins of the game of croquet. It was probably introduced, in its modern form, into England from Ireland some time after 1850. It was not so frantic as the outdoor game of battledore and shuttlecock and it could be played by people in formal dress without loss of dignity. Croquet seemed tame when compared with the new energetic sport of lawn tennis. By 1878 Ladies were quite prepared to hitch up their skirts and energetically swing a racquet. If you had no garden court, you joined a club. If you lived in Budleigh Salterton you could join the Archery and Croquet Club, probably founded before 1868 though certainly in full swing for croquet by 1872, located on the plateau at the top of the hill opposite the cricket ground where, for the sum of 10/- annually you could enjoy both archery and croquet. The influential landowner in East Devon was the Hon. Mark Rolle, eldest son of Lord Clinton, who let two fields of 3 acres to Mr Harwood who in turn let them to the club for the sum of £4 annually.

  • Hyde Park Croquet Club England Tour ~ May & June 2018
    Hyde Park Croquet Club England Tour ~ May & June 2018. It is amazing where socialising after a club Croquet day can take you. In Hyde Park’s case a few drinks on a Saturday afternoon about 3 years ago led to discussions about a possible Golf Croquet trip – New Zealand and the UK were both mooted. Fast forward 2 years and planning was firmly in place for what is believed to be the very first Australian Club Croquet tour of the UK with former members Anne & Andrew Larpent taking a key role. (They had returned to the native homeland and did all the reconnoitring of which clubs should be visited.) It was decided early in the planning that everyone would be responsible for their own travel to and from England and that the tour should be approximately a fortnight with a mixture of croquet matches, sightseeing and free time and that is exactly what happened. The touring party assembled at the Cheltenham Queens Hotel on 28 May in readiness for a tour of the Cotswolds on the 29th and our first match against Cheltenham on the 30th. Most Club members were without their trusty Mallet, we were in a foreign country with unfamiliar surroundings and of course the English weather to deal with. Despite these challenges, we weren’t deterred and we all went into the heat of battle full of excitement and confidence. At our first dinner there was some discussion of the correct protocols, dress code (simply white) and general behaviour while in England. We were also reminded there may be some friendly comments made to us by our hosts about the behaviour of fellow Australians, while touring overseas, playing cricket.

    THE MALLET Quarterly Publication of the Chatswood Croquet Club APRIL 2010 YOUR EDITOR SAYS… A great deal of variety in this edition of „The Mallet‟. I am sure you will find it entertaining. The Stan Hall Cup Final is reported in detail, including the croquet and social aspects of it. The bad news is that our wonderful chef is moving to Melbourne. His farewell menu at the Stan Hall Cup was just outstanding. We will need another chef as a matter of urgency. Please let Joan Booth know if you want us to try your hand, perhaps at the next President‟s Day! After watching a few Stan Hall matches I thought we had to re-visit Using Bisques, and Ian Plummer from Oxford University has kindly obliged. Very clear and instructive. Did you know that Sextuples are practised at CCC every week! We knew that was coming after watching Rob Fulford doing 10 septuples in Lawn 1 (Fulford Lawn?) during the Australian National Championships in 2006. Not only that, Gateball is part of CCC life now. A very successful trial day and now we play the game with the tiny mallets and wide hoops every Monday afternoon! And, Surprise Surprise! A report on Croquet in Russia by Yuri Ilyukhin. He is promoting the game in Moscow, where he lives, and through his web site to Mother Russia. You will see Yuri playing croquet in the snow! Enjoy your magazine. YOUR LETTERS [My email address: [email protected]] Dear Rudy, In this, the January 2010 issue of the Mallet, you have managed a wonderful balance between, club news & information, desirable croquet skills to be mastered by all of us, as well as helpful hints from Lawrie in Lawn Order.
