Croquet

A few weeks ago we met up with a group from our Sunday school class on the lawn of St John's College to experience the annual Johnnies vs Navy croquet match. Everyone comes out to schmooze, booze and eat fun snacks out of their picnic baskets while a Great Gatsby inspired afternoon passes by. Some dress the part in their seersucker suits and fun hats, others stick to jeans and t-shirts. A band performs period music in the background as the croquet match takes place and the best thing is... it's all free!

So reminds me of Aiken and the horse events. Very sophisticated event. Love all the precious pictures of the little future croquet players too. Looks like a lot of free fun!!!

That's awesome! I'm laughing as I try to imagine the same event in Hobbs. I imagine it would involve loud rap and tacos, but I'm not sure. Looks like a fun group!

You have so many interesting events to take advantage of up North. Both of you are becoming so cultured!
