Southport Croquet Club marks Australia Day with flag raising

eing Australia Day, Southport Croquet Club held its usual flag raising ceremony at the start of play today. The President, Alan Edwards, welcomed the players and provided a short background to the actual day. After the raising of the flag, everyone sang the National Anthem.
Association Croquet and Ricochet games were played.
Lunch was a welcome feast, with BBQ lamb burgers, buns, salad and pineapple for the first course. Lamingtons, home made by Eunice Frater, were the second course.
We were able to play until 3:00 p.m., when steady rain arrived.
