wood of the North Saanich team
is looking for a genial turnout.
‘*Hopefully, the weather will be
fine, the sun will be shining and
we’ll have tea and sandwiches for
the participants,’ says Sherwood.

British sports will be well
represented during Sidney Days
with the Stonehouse Pub Croquet
Tournament on Saturday, July 2,
and a Cricket Match at Wain Park
on Sunday, July 3.

Most people’ s experience with
croquet is probably with the
garage-battered sct that was dug
out when sunny summer weather
demandcd a team sport that didn’t

take a lot of running around. The
planting of rusty wire hoops in a
lumpy lawn to smash lopsided
wooden balls through with
chipped mallets is a poor sub-
stitute for the real thing. Trying
the game with proper equipment
and actual rules can be challeng-
ing and interesting, and just may
show the uninitiated what they
have been missing all these years.

Stonchouse Pub owner Simon
Deane, Sidney’s most ardent
proponent of the game, says cro-
quet is the most fun when it is
played seriously and by the book.

‘*You don’t have to get your
knees dirty,”” he says. “‘You use
your head in strategy and it takes
guts to play well.’? Deane plays
in some formidable leagues, hav-
ing assembled a team. that beat
Halifax last year. He participated
in the San Francisco Open Cro-
quet Tournament, where he and
his: partner took third in B Divi-
sion. Deane says he now has a

the deadline for entering is June
28. See the Stonchouse Pub for
details. If you missed it this year,
chances are there will be another
opportunity soon, as croquet’s
popularity continues to rise.

“We can sce this growing. It’s
a very good game,’ says Deane.

from North Saanich will square
