Having fun events highlights how great your club is

[admin]

Events are often the highlights of the club calendar! Whether it's a friendly social BBQ, a competitive croquet tournament, or a dedicated fundraiser, running great events brings huge benefits to our clubs.

Why put the effort into organising events?

• Boosts Social Connection: Events like dinners, trivia nights, or casual 'come & try' days are fantastic for building friendships and strengthening the social fabric of the club. Happy members stick around!
• Provides Playing Opportunities: Specific events like club championships, handicap tournaments, or even fun, non-standard croquet formats give members different ways to enjoy the game and test their skills.
• Raises Vital Funds: Dedicated fundraising events (raffles, special competition days, dinners) can bring in much-needed income for specific projects or operational costs.
• Attracts New Members: Well-run 'come & try' days or community open days are prime opportunities to introduce people to croquet and showcase what your club offers.
• Raises Club Profile: Successful events generate buzz, create positive stories to share (online and offline), and enhance the club's reputation in the local community.
• Engages Volunteers: Events provide specific, short-term opportunities for members to volunteer and contribute in different ways.

Putting thought into planning and running events – big or small – pays off by creating a more vibrant, connected, and successful croquet club.
