ur club Christmas party was held on Saturday 15 December, and a wonderful day was enjoyed by around thirty-six members and guests, including Clr Peter Cumming, our Club Patron.

The excellent lunch was organised by our fantastic providore, Aina Johns, and several helpers. Thanks to our club members who contributed a great variety of dishes, and to Aina, who ensured that it all ran smoothly.

Thanks also to our members who contributed items for the Christmas raffle and gave up their free time to sell tickets, especially Phyllis Pledger and Wendy Snowdon, who did most of the organising.

This is an important fundraiser for the club.

Wynnum Croquet Club was represented by twelve players in the Bayside Cup GC Doubles held at Wynnum on Sunday 4th November 2018.

They were joined by club players from Broadbeach, Eildon, Graceville, McIlwraith, Stephens, Toombul and Windsor to compete for the honours, and there were some very exciting games.

There was a full field of 32 players divided into two blocks of eight, and the winner of each block played off in the final for the Wynnum Bayside Cup.

The final was won 4-3 by Eildon Club members Lawrie Simpson and Bob Martin, who beat the Wynnum pair Gordon Giles and Geoff Hull.
