27/07: Croquet Tournament
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
Our backyard neighbours have a croquet tournament / party each summer to which we are invited. The weather was a little iffy today --- rainy when we got up, remained cloudy for most of the day with intermittent showers. Luckily the thunderstorm held off till desert was being served.
The guests are mingling before the tournament begins.
The first group select their mallets and head for front course.
The second group ready to head out on the back course. Just need to listen to Jimmy's tirade .... oops I mean instructions.
There were five groups in the first round. Even though Ed was showing great form, neither he nor I advanced to the second round.
The women were excited this year as it's been a long time since there was a women champion. Here she is standing beside John, the host and last years winner and the tournament official, Jimmy.
As always the party was a lot of fun. This years meat was "bacon bomb explosion. Ground pork, stuffed with different vegetables, wrapped in woven bacon and barbecued. It was amazing. Definitely going to try this sometime.
