Sunnyside wins at Bundaberg, prepares for November plant sale

During the last three months, Sunnyside Croquet Club members have played in competitions between players from other clubs as well as competitions within the club. The CAQ Association Singles Div 3 and 4 held at Bundaberg Croquet Club was won by Darryl Bell of Sunnyside.

The Ricochet doubles events at the Hervey Bay Gala resulted in Darryl Bell and Rae Bell as runners-up.

It is great to see our new members competing in the competitions and getting to know players from other clubs.

The club championships for the three codes have been played and the awards for this will be presented at the AGM later this year.

To help with fundraising our members are busy preparing for a plant sale that will be held at Sunnyside Croquet Club on Saturday 12th November from 7.00am until midday.
