Croquet is a fascinating game, combining skill and tactics (not unlike those of snooker) with a pleasant outdoor setting.
Here in Edinburgh there are two croquet clubs: the Edinburgh Club at Lauriston Castle - established in 1950 and still going strong - and the more recently arrived Meadows Club at the west end of the Meadows. Both clubs welcome new members and provide tuition for beginners.
The picture shows the opening event of the season at Lauriston Castle on Saturday 19 April 2003, with 24 players taking part in doubles games on six half-size lawns.
