Croquet Club

30th Anniversary!

The Croquet Club was founded on 25th May 1982, playing on the lawn in front of restaurant no. 1.

Members from outside CERN began to join and on 1st August 1991 we founded the Swiss Croquet Association.

This enabled our champions to play in European and World championships. We also play home and away representative matches against England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, Austria, Italy and Belgium, plus a wide range of club and Swiss championships.

In 1995 we moved to two superb courts on the Prévessin site and soon added a clubhouse.
The focal point of the week is the Monday Social Night, with informal matches, barbecue and chat.

At a ceremony at the club on 28th May, the club thanked its president Norman Eatough for his 30 years of stewardship, in the year when he will reach 80, by making him a Life Member.
