Howick Croquet Club Inc.
2020/21 Annual General Meeting
It was great to see so many members in attendance at our AGM on Saturday 22 May.
The President’s Report was positive and short. The Treasurer confirmed the club remains financially strong; and the Grounds Maintenance Report explained the significant challenges to our playing surface currently brought about by unforecast soil infections and an invasion of grass bugs…. all of which will be fixed, but may take some time to come right.
Club membership fees are to remain unchanged from last year. And a new Club Committee was confirmed with Felix Groenestein as our shiny new President.
Club Patron, Councillor Sharon Stewart, was in attendance to hand out the annual HCC Awards and Cups won in special categories by Club Members as follows :-
Wally Parks Handicap Singles: Winner - Jim Dickson. Runner Up – Vanessa Baddock.
