Blewbury Festival - June 2011

Blewbury is a pretty village by the Berkshire Downs in south Oxfordshire near Didcot, with a thriving croquet club.

Founded in 1993, the Club has steadily grown and now has two excellent full-size croquet lawns and a small modern clubhouse.

Our members come from far and wide, but mainly from the nearby towns and villages in the Oxford - Reading - Newbury triangle.

The courts are open seven days a week through the summer. The season starts in April, and continues to September or October. We also have an occasional social programme.

At Blewbury we play both Association croquet and Golf croquet. Some of our members play in individual competitions and team matches against other clubs. Others just play for fun.

The club provides all the playing equipment needed, though players usually buy their own mallets once they decide to play regularly. The only thing a new player needs is a comfortable pair of flat-soled shoes.

Blewbury Croquet Club welcomes both beginners and experienced players. There is no restriction on who can join, and no joining fee, just the regular subscription which is reduced for families, juniors, and distant members. The Club has qualified coaches to introduce you to the game, and to help members improve their play.

Contact any member to arrange a visit to try the game and the courts.

Blewbury Croquet Club is a registered Community Amateur Sports Club, affiliated to the Croquet Association and the Southern Croquet Federation.
