As I was wandering through Central Park this morning, I was lucky enough to spot a member practising their American 6 Wicket skills.
After introducing myself, Geoff gave me a brief run down of the club which has a current membership of about 80. They have room for two full courts but can access to the bowling courts when running tournaments.
Squirrels are constant companions and are very adept at digging out the acorns if they happen to get buried leaving some nice holes in the lawn.

I had the great pleasure of visiting the Hong Kong Cricket Club this evening as a guest of Tom Ingram, who is representing the Hong Kong Croquet Club at the 2024 GC World Championship.
It is an amazing facility with numerous sports being catered for such as swimming, table tennis, lawn bowls, snooker, indoor cricket and even ten pin bowling.

if you are ever thinking of visiting HK, make sure you add a game of croquet to your to do list!
