Croquet NSW, Australia - Notes from the Chair

Hello from the Chair of CNSW

Much has happened in the new board's first month, and I will detail that in our first newsletter in December.

At this time, just two reminders:

If you are interested in a coaching course to be run by the ACA in Maitland on the 12th November or Canberra on the 30th November, please as quickly as possible. 04/11/2016 Note that the above dates have since been changed, your club secretary should have details.
There is a 6 hour 'Coaching module' followed by a 120-minute module on either AC or GC followed by a 20-minute module on Ricochet. Upon completion you will become an ACA accredited coach in the disciplines of your choice.

One more reminder, for clubs in the Sydney area and surrounds:

On the 13 November your directors of Gateball are conducting a Gateball interest day at Tempe.

Some interesting facts:

::::: Gateball is for all agers, not just for younger people.

::::: There is a club in Sydney that's been playing Gateball for 20 years.

::::: There are 2,600,000 people playing Gateball in China.

::::: and another 1,300,000 playing Gateball spread over Japan, South Korea and Thailand.

And remember - "Croquet is a family sport" - I dare you to challenge your family.
