What Your Loan Mallets Say About Your Club

Clubs welcome two main types of visitors: prospective members trying croquet for the first time, and guests at social functions. The mallet they're handed is their primary connection to the game. It shapes their first impression of croquet and of your club's standards.

CAQ President Michael Eddiehausen puts it simply:

The goal is simple: every person who visits a Queensland croquet club should feel welcomed, valued, and have the best chance to fall in love with the sport.

Simple Fixes That Work

Many clubs have shown that a bit of effort goes a long way. An older mallet can be given new life with volunteer help.

This investment of time and resources helps create a welcoming environment. Newcomers are more likely to return.
