Learn to play croquet on 12th November!
Hi neighbours, we are hosting a FREE OPEN DAY for the whole family at the Epsom Remuera Croquet Club! There will be fun games with prizes, raffles, demonstrations, sausage sizzle and refreshments. Wear flat soled shoes and a smile. Said to be like snooker on grass, Croquet is able to be played by anyone from 9 to 90 years.
Golf Croquet is a fast, easy new version of croquet with its own challenges. The pace is relaxed, the tone is social and the accent is on serious fun.
For the first time we'll be introducing Gateball. Gateball is a team game with up to five in each team. It's hugely popular in Japan, China and other eastern countries, with its own World Championships. Games take 30 minutes so are not too demanding.
Come along and try your hand at hitting a ball through a hoop. You've no idea how much fun that can be.
When: Sunday 12th November 9.30am - 3.30pm
Where: 259 Gillies Avenue, Epsom
We look forward to seeing you there!

Smoke in Mt Wellington
Smoke has been seen coming from the crater of the Auckland maunga Mt Wellington.
Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
