Eildon Croquet Club receives $7,500 for new balls

he Queensland Government provided $7,500 to Eildon Croquet Club to improve our equipment, specifically the purchasing of new balls, to enable Queenslanders, especially seniors, to participate in sport and recreation activities.

Thank you to our local member Yvette D'Ath MP.

Our club membership is 66% female, and croquet has traditionally been a predominantly female pastime. For the majority of the time at every club, the President and leadership committees have been steered by women.
