Good evening,

 

I understand that some people were unable to open the attachment I had sent in an earlier email regarding the Canberra Croquet Club's AC Carnival which is to be held over the long weekend in January.  To assist, I have copied the information from the flyer into this email (see below.  If you have any questions or would like a pdf copy of the flyer please don't hesitate to let me know.

 

Regards

CANBERRA CROQUET CLUB

Canberra Open

Friday 24 to Monday 27 January 2014

 

The Canberra Croquet Club is holding its annual Canberra Carnival over the long weekend from 24-27 January 2014.

 

The Club wishes to build on the success of previous Carnivals and encourage more players to join us in friendly competition. We extend an invitation to all players to come and enjoy Canberra summer weather, good croquet and the friendly atmosphere.

 

If you are a newer Association Croquet (AC) player from a regional club then you will find our Carnival an especially good environment in which to try out your competition skills.

 

The Carnival will start on Friday after an early morning tea and conclude as early as possible on Monday afternoon.  Refreshments can be purchased during the Carnival.

 

Entries are open to any player on a handicap of 20 and under.

 

Tournament conditions:

• Advanced Level singles in stand-alone round-robin blocks based on handicap (high handicappers may be able to play Advanced Handicap off a base, depending on entries)
• Players can expect a maximum of 2 games per day
• 2½ hour games; ACA Regulations 16.3 & 16.4
• Most games will be double-banked – no extra time
• Hoops will be set at 3¾ inches

 

Please remember to bring your National Handicapping card – we do reserve the right of the Tournament Handicapper to adjust handicaps before & during the tournament.
