Croquet
A combination of chess and snooker, played on grass and favoured by national ‘celebrities’ such as John Prescott, croquet combines accuracy, strength and tactics in an outdoor setting, perfect for all ages and backgrounds. Forget ‘violent’ games, bashing balls into undergrowth, munching on cucumber sandwiches and drinking tea in your local vicar’s backgarden; the modern game is enjoyable and intriguing, requiring a scientist’s precision and a surgeon’s touch - the perfect sport for an Imperial student!
IC CroqSoc comprises of players who are fast rising in the national rankings and the eyes of their admirers. Having just obtained brand new equipment, we are set to dominate the Student Championships! We meet on the Queen’s Lawn during good weather for practice and some R & R – don’t worry if you’re not a world beater yet – give it several weeks and a few glasses of Pimms, and you’ll be ‘tripling’ with ease!
