The Croquet Club of Corfu was originally founded by Tony Blok and became a Greek Association club in 2014.
We have a range of membership options available, annual, six, or three monthly, as well as the opportunity to play and pay per game for visitors and holidaymakers.
We keep everyone updated through regular newsletters and email updates.
The club has a committee who are enthusiastic supporters of the game of croquet, all of whom are volunteers and give of their time freely! Our thanks to them for all they do.
Our current committee, which was elected in 2022 is:
| Role | Name(s) |
|---|---|
| President | Richard Quilter |
| Vice President | Anne Hodgson |
| Treasurer | Aspa Kapsokavadis |
| Secretary | Karen Quilter |
| Members | Janneke van Rosmalen Verena Winkler Judith Forshaw |
| Co-Opted | Lola Klouda Anne-Marie Anthi |
We have a groundsman all the year round, whose job it is to ensure our lawns and surroundings are well maintained.
As well as a growing number of local members and our holiday visitors, we also have a large and ever increasing group of overseas players, mainly from the U.K., who come to play in our two annual tournaments, the Greek Open GC Tournament and the Greek Open AC Tournament.
In Corfu we are able to play croquet for much of the year. Normally we have two Club Days each week, Saturday and Wednesday, 10am start in the summer, 11am in the winter! During the summer we also run a Friday evening session when it is cooler, which generally begins at 6pm.
During a normal year we will run a range of tournaments for the local membership, Singles, Doubles and Handicaps as well as a Twilight Tournament in August, by the light of the full moon, with no floodlights or head torches allowed!! At Christmas and New Year there are also get together day tournaments too. Lots of shared merriment is enjoyed by all!
So, when will we see you? Contact us and tell us when you are coming or ask any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you and making some new friends.
