Croquet is a fun and relaxed sport, and Surbiton Croquet Club have invited us along to try it out. All you need is a pair of flat soled shoes (ordinary trainers are fine) The session will last for around two hours. The club has a bar where we can enjoy some refreshments after the croquet.
This event is limited to 20 participants, so be sure to book your place soon.
Car parking is available at the club and there is plenty of free, on-street parking available too.
You can find a brief introduction to playing golf croquet (rather than association croquet) on the Croquet Association website.
- LGBTQ+ Women's Social EveningThe Victoria, Surbiton
If you would like to come and meet up with some LGBTQ+ Women who enjoy a get together then do come along to our LGBTQ+ Women's Social Night.
While this is a Women’s social, we don’t want to be too prescriptive for these events as some people who are, for example, non-binary, gender-fluid or questioning may wish to come along. If this event is something you fancy, we’d love to see you there.
Don't worry if you haven't been along before this is a warm & friendly group and we all enjoy getting to know each other.
We know it can be a bit unnerving coming to an event for the first time, especially if the bar is busy, so we will always make sure the bar staff know where we are.
If you would like some introductions, ask for either Lianne or Emma and say hello.
We're looking forward to seeing you there.
Accessibility information about the Victoria can be found here.
