NELSON BAY CROQUET CLUB
Nelson Bay Croquet Club has just over 100 members, both males and females, across a wide age range.
We play croquet regularly on 5 days of the week, weather permitting. We mostly play Golf Croquet, but there are also a number of members who play Ricochet and Association.
The club has four professionally maintained full sized courts that are the envy of many other regional clubs.
We have a small clubhouse with attached covered outdoor area, ample tables and chairs, and tea and coffee making facilities. Male and female toilets are located in a nearby building. On normal playing days, we wear a 'mix and match' navy blue (no jeans) and white colour code, with flat shoes. Club shirts can be obtained from a local supplier at a reasonable cost.
The club is run by a small, active committee. The office holders for 2026 are:
