The last week of the third term was very exciting. CLUBS time! And for the first time, croquet was introduced to our learners. Some of our keenest sport enthusiasts came to try their hand at this genteel, yet very competitive sport. They loved it!

The Somerset West Croquet Club kindly lent us their equipment for two days and Susan and Martina Crole, and Fred Turnbull came to the school to coach the children. Susan organised a tournament on Day 2 and the children enjoyed the challenge enormously!

Croquet is being introduced as an alternative sport for the first time this term. Thirty six Grade 6 and 7 pupils have signed up to play on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Somerset West Croquet Club has offered to lend us equipment until ours arrives, and also assist with some coaching.

This is a wonderful opportunity for Somerset College and our sincere thanks go to Susan Crole, who is so enthusiastic about establishing a Junior Croquet League in the Helderberg region.
