Saturday was a special day at Jamberoo Croquet Club – not only to celebrate World Croquet Day, but also the presentation of the Croquet NSW Golden Mallet Award to one of our members, Pat.
JCC President Louise opened the preceedings, with Vice President Judy providing a most informative and concise history of Croquet. Then past president Steve introduced JCC Life Member Pat as the recipient of the 2022 CNSW Golden Mallet Award. Fidye Westgarth from CNSW presented Pat with the Award, which recognises outstanding contributions to croquet in NSW and the ACT. The proceedings were followed by fabulous morning tea, of which the centrepiece was a signature cake. Attending local Federal & State MPs were then invited to play a spot of croquet to round off the morning’s festivities.
The Golden Mallet award celebrates outstanding contributions to croquet in NSW and the ACT. It replaces the President’s Award, and the nominations are put forward mostly by the Club members and peers, recognising their fellow members.
The Board was pleased to announce that the Golden Mallet Panel selected Pat Moroney as the recipient of the Award for 2022.
