This year there have been some significant developments in Herbert Park. The pavilion, adjacent to our lawns, which previously housed the bowling club and pretty basic changing rooms and toilets has been rebuilt. It continues to include the bowling club but the other half of the building is now a cafe plus three decent, if narrow, toilets. A patio outside will have additional tables for the cafe which at present (mid-July 2015) remains unopened. ..cont..

HPCC took on Canterbury Croquet Club - Saturday and Sunday morning were dedicated to association croquet and we are delighted to have come out the winners!

HPCC hosted an International between Ireland and Belgium. The results 6:2 to Ireland in Association and 3:2 to Belgium in Golf meant Ireland were the overall winners. The sun shone, Belgian chocolates and Flemish biscuits were eaten and everyone had a great weekend! We wish Caroline Denny (BEL) the best of luck in the Women's AC World Championship 2015 which will be held later this month. Picture and results below.

A reminder that entries for the Irish Open Association Croquet Championships close on 20th July.
