Treasure Hunt A new event for Croydon South is coming up - a treasure hunt. Starting at All Saint's Church in Kenley at 1:00pm and finishing somewhere else, entrants can expect cryptic clues, many questions and not a little fun as they try to follow the instructions and collect all the information. The entrance fee is £20 per car, with a surcharge of £4 per person over the four per car maximum. The whole thing will finish at a thinly disguised location with a Tom Ho barbeque so you know what you will be missing if you can't find your way to the finish! To enter a team, contact us by email stating the name of your team and the number of people in the vehicle. |

10th July - Len Storms to Success in the Croquet and Cream Tea
 |
On another glorious day, many gathered for a rather English afternoon of Pimms, Croquet and a Cream tea. The weather was uncharacteristically English, but the many guests braved the heat of the beating sun to compete for the annual croquet champion's trophy. There were some remarkable performances during the day, notably from Rotarian Will who, coming from behind with his opponent about to win with his next shot, went through four hoops in one turn and took the round. He was narrowly beaten in the final however, by our worthy winner, Len Marvelly, friend of the club. The food and drinks were provided courtesy of Tom Ho, and he did us proud as always. President Tim said "This is always a wonderful event and it is great to see it so well supported this year. My thanks go to all the Rotarians and Friends who made this day possible. Nothing says Summer like a glass of Pimms and a loud discussion about the rules of Croquet!" |
