Croquet's Mafia?

We've all heard of the 'men in black', but last week at a secret loaction, the 'men in brown' met. Our source said the mafia style meeting was held in secret, but 'Don Baretti' and 'Don Gauntio' were spotted after the rest of the Don's had left - one wonders what was under discussion by coquet's mafia?

Hurlingham Goes Organic


Following recent events of an economic nature, and the re-emergence of 'Grow your own Veg', Hurlingham have decided to take the plunge to make their grounds more 'economically viable' and have turned the croquet lawns into allotments. Our picture, taken recently, shows that the members are taking this matter seriously, having carefully covered the newly prepared ground to warm it and keep the weeds at bay. Our source at the club told us that they were not at liberty to divulge the crops, that was still at the committee stage, but the sprinkler system was going to be a real boom now, as it made those tiresome and rather ugly watering cans unnecessary.

The Whites Debate - We Sucked It to See

Following the ongoing debate in a certain well known croquet publication as to whether white should be kept as the appropriate clothing code, a certain band of reprobates decided to road test first and second colours. (Ignore the eejit in the hat reclining at the front, we used him as the peg!) We shall let you draw your own conclusions as to whether white is indeed the smartest.
