Margaret Melville inducted into the CAQ Hall of Recognition

Last Sunday, the club held an afternoon tea in honour of Margaret's croquet achievements.

Margaret spoke modestly of her achievements and, when asked for advice, she suggested two points: practise and listen. Listen to all, then form your game.

Over a twenty-one year career span, Margaret won many top level events, all of which started from the Runner-Up award in the 1994 Division 4 Singles Championship (Association Croquet). She went on to represent Queensland and Australia and played in the Women's World Championships for both Association Croquet and Golf Croquet.

Margaret has always been a keen sportswoman. She was a sprinter as a teenager and has played hockey, squash and soccer, all competitively.
