The morning will also include structured games with experienced players on hand to offer assistance.

Have a Go co-ordinator Geraldine Vincent said croquet appealed to snooker, tennis, golf or bowls players, but could also be easily picked up by people who were new to ball sports.

“Skills can be quickly developed, but the game is immediately enjoyable,” she said.

She said there were different versions of croquet, but the most popular at the club was golf croquet.

Have a Go day starts at 9am on Wednesday and costs $5 a person, with the charge including morning tea, equipment and coaching.
