When Pat McGregor joined the York Croquet Club, only Association Croquet was played. Golf Croquet came later, and Ricochet later still. Although there were lights at the croquet club, games were held during the day on Wednesday and Saturdays, and only during the summer. The busy bee held each year in September to bring the courts up to scratch included removing a mass of wild oats from the courts. Croquet was not played during the winter at that stage because most of the members played golf

Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill!
