West Toowoomba Croquet Club held its annual Friendship Day on Thursday.

Playing conditions at times were challenging, however that did not deter 36 players from attending and enjoying themselves.

Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a great success. We look forward to seeing you all again next year, or at your club's Friendship Day.

Below are a few candid shots of everyone enjoying themselves.
