A well maintained club is a good looking club
-
Our club's physical spaces – the clubhouse, the courts, the surrounding grounds, and even our essential equipment – are central to the enjoyment of croquet and the smooth running of the club. Properly maintaining these facilities isn't just about appearances; it's crucial for several reasons:
- Player Enjoyment & Safety: Well-maintained courts provide the best possible playing surface while also minimising risks like trips or falls. A clean and functional clubhouse enhances the social experience. Safe equipment prevents accidents.
- Protecting Club Assets: Our facilities and major equipment (like mowers and rollers) are significant investments. Regular maintenance protects their value and extends their lifespan, saving the club money in the long run.
- Attracting & Retaining Members: A well-presented club with good facilities is more attractive to potential new members and helps keep current members happy and proud of their club. First impressions count!
- Positive Club Image: Tidy grounds and well-kept facilities project a positive image of the club and the sport of croquet to the wider community and potential sponsors.
- Meeting Obligations: In some cases (e.g., lease agreements, safety regulations), there may be requirements to maintain facilities to a certain standard.
Taking pride in our facilities and investing time and effort in their upkeep benefits everyone involved with the club.
