CROQUET NEWS

CROQUET RULES & REGULATIONS REMINDER The most up to date Croquet Rules and Regulations are in the back of your printed Member Directory for easy access at any time. Please reference these rules if you are not sure of the etiquette and expectations while on the lawns. All white attire is required for any sanctioned CCA event and the normal Club-wide dress code is in effect during other times on the lawns. Please keep all shirts tucked in and baseball hats facing forward. For those wishing to play casually, please consult the dress code section of the Croquet Rules section of the Directory. All players should wear smooth soled shoes to protect and preserve the integrity of our beautiful lawns. CROQUET SHOP FOR 2023 We will have a Croquet Shop this season; however, Brian or Terry have moved towards ordering merchandise related to croquet. Please visit with them to review options and to place an order. We have demo mallets and a few other croquet accessories in shop along with several clothing items.

CULLASAJA CROQUET ASSOCIATION (CCA) We strongly encourage those interested in playing croquet this summer to join the other 150+ CCA members in the Cullasaja Croquet Association. Members of the CCA enjoy the following perks:

• Participation in all Sanctioned CCA Events • Complimentary Food at the Season Opener, Special Events, and End of Season Awards Dinner • Complimentary Food at the Weekly Mallets and Martinis • Rules and Game Improvement Seminars • Instruction by Visiting World Class Instructors

• Inter-Club Matches vs. Other Area Clubs • All Weekly Croquet Events and Food

You do not have to join the CCA to use the beautiful croquet lawns, but you do have to be a member of the CCA to participate in all CCA sanctioned events. So, as you can see, you get a lot of bang for your buck with the joining fee of $100 per person ($200 per couple) for the entire season.
