Somerset West Croquet Club
SWCC was established by a group of enthusiasts in 1970. Membership soon grew as it became noted for its competitive as well as social croquet. The lawns have proved a great asset with an irrigation system to ensure they remain in good condition even in the driest of summers. A wide range of activities and events to enjoy are laid on throughout the year.
Our season starts in October and runs until early May for matches/tournaments but social play and Winter inter-club games with our Helderberg neighbours continues through out the year. Late winter and early spring is the time when we carry out rolling lawn maintenance on our 4 lawns. ​
​
Club sessions, Monday and Thursday afternoons, are quite social affairs often with refreshments brought along by members, followed by a glass of wine before going home for supper. ​  
​
​Coaching is an integral activity for both beginners and those with more experience. Better players with international experience are on hand to offer tuition on a regular basis
​
The clubhouse has a good range of facilities for hot and cold drinks, indoor and outdoor seating and a picnic area. It is used for refreshments when we have events, home matches, and for entertaining groups who come to enjoy ‘something different’, sometimes annually.
