Each year the MCC Croquet Club has a competition involving its newest Members. It is called the Noel Grant Trophy after a former President and Life Member of the club who received the French Legion D’Honneur for her work in Paris during the last years of WW2. Because the club had been closed for six months for significant lawn refurbishment in the second half of 2024, there was a backlog of people wanting to join the Club, eight of whom signed up for the competition.
Among those were Ros and Robert Winspear, and Robert won the final from Mark Eddelbuttel (see photo). Congratulations to Robert, who went through the competition without a loss.
