Australia Day celebrations at Stephens Croquet Club

he flags were flying in the (hot) breeze on Australia Day at Stephens Croquet Club.

We are a diverse crew at the club, with members born in highly likely countries other than Australia: England, Scotland, USA, as well as the more exotic Morocco and Niugini.

Games of Golf Croquet and Ricochet were enjoyed before a few cold drinks and a BBQ cooked by the experts, Gerard and Richard, and some delicious salads AND Pavlova.

Thanks to Val for organising another popular event.

Thanks also to Gaye for lots of advice about thinking strategically in Ricochet, a game that is much more difficult than it appears.
