Happy New Year

So the new year has come and gone. What does this mean for our fragile croquet club? With a few changes I suspect we could strengthen the club greatly. I submit the following:

1. One issue that grinds me the wrong way, is that there really arent that many games we played in the course of several months. Was everyone busy? Of course, we all were. But could we have gotten in more games (if even one at a time)? Absolutely-weekends are the clear choice, or playing earlier on several nights (I'll address this later). Bottom line-we need to get out and play more.

2. It may have been the night we played this semester, but we had a shrinking play list. We ended up with 4 regular players (plus cassie towards the end), I'd like to see this expanded. One later point will address one idea, but obivously more people (and once it teeters over 6) goes into scheduling problems etc.

3. Starting play at 10:00pm is a horrible, horrible idea. If we want to kill a night playing, then go for it. Otherwise, play should start around 7. Here we could get in 2-3 games, and you can do something the rest of the night. Nobody has a schedule where one night you cant play at 7. This would also increase the amount of people playing, and probably times we could play.

4. There should be a final game to decide who wins. I dont want to leave the stats as the weak, pre-finals last games we played.

So thats it, fight on croquet club, fight on.

our cause is true.
