Saturday, February 15th, saw the first Bribie Island Croquet Gala Day, and yes, it was glorious! What an array of colours! Some players were in uniform, some were dressed for the hot weather in cool cotton, and some were wearing very funny sun hats. There was a blue sky and sunshine, too!
Bribie Golf Croquet Gala Days are always very popular, with clubs from south Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast attending. Players came from Eildon Club, Pine Rivers, Twin Rivers, Caloundra and Headland Buderim because they all knew they would have a great day. So, what makes the Gala Day so special? Apart from exercise in the sunshine. Well, making new friends, meeting old friends, having a yummy morning tea, discussing other competitions and planning travel arrangements.
(There is a big competition in Tasmania at Easter and one in Toowoomba in March.) Then, of course, there are the fun games, the laughter, and the friendly competitive spirit. There were four teams, with a winner and runner-up in each team. Cash prizes were also awarded, as well as a lucky door prize and raffle prizes. I won’t list the winners because everyone was a winner, having had a great time. You could have been part of the fun. Why not give it a try and call Jan? 0437 008 042 See you at the next Gala Day !!
