Ealing Croquet Club

The Big Help Out initiative got off to a flying start when volunteers starting preparing the ground floor of the pavilion for its new coat of green paint on the Bank Holiday Monday on 1st May. However, a wet Coronation Bank Holiday delayed the final painting, which resumed on Sunday 14 May. You can view photographs of the work in progress here. There is still one side to complete, but that should not take long, given the number of members who have volunteered to help so far, and Tom’s impressive organisational skills.

The club would like to extend a special thankyou to Wickes Ealing, who donated the painting materials, and all the volunteers, including the local residents who turned up to help on Sunday.

AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE WAS A DIFFICULT CHOICE BETWEEN WATCHING CROQUET AND WATCHING PAINT DRY .
