Submitted by Volunteer Flavia on Wed, 08/09/2023 - 11:23

Croquet has a long history that encompasses France where it was thought to have originated and called 'jeu de mail', Ireland who is credited with its modern form, Scotland where it has been mentioned with a golf connection, England where it became a craze in the early nineteenth century and there's a Wimbledon connection. These days it is popular around the world.

Closer to home is the North Adelaide Croquet Club (NACC). Formed in 2002 with the amalgamation of the Prospect Croquet Club and the Fitzroy Croquet Club. The North Adelaide Croquet Club has 4 lawns, a club house and hosts many croquet events including local, national and International tournaments.
