| WCF Hall of Fame - The Croquet Legends | ||
|
At the inception of WCF in 1986, certain principles and objectives were established to promote the sport of croquet throughout the world. One of these is enshrined in the WCF Rules (Statutes) - (103.11) To make awards to those who have contributed to the achievement of the Federation's aims. Many sports and pastimes have recognised the leaders in their chosen field, either as practitioners or as supporters, sometimes by tokens (gold watches), awards (Oscar's), medals, certificates or by other means. All have a common theme, to thanks those that have demonstrated exceptional ability or generous support. To fulfil the objective, WCF today announces the formation of the WCF Hall of Fame that shall be based on the WCF web site. 2nd January 2006 |

| World Championship - Further Transport Arrangements | ||
|
As you may be aware, in the original WCF Notice relating to “Transport Arrangements” issued on 1st August 2005, reference was made to the prospect of heavy holiday traffic between Cheltenham and Bristol and Nailsea on the first day of the event, Saturday 6th August 2005. This will be exacerbated by the holding of a very popular County Cricket Festival taking place 200 yards from Cheltenham Croquet Club for most of the Championship. Since then, some people have continued to express concern, and have sought guidance about alternative transport links and journeys. Thanks to Phil Cordingley (Tournament Director), Klim Seabright (CA Secretary), David McGee (Event Transport Manager), Ray Ransom (Bristol), Dave Kibble (Nailsea) and Esther Jones (Edgbaston) for the information and advice. The full transport arrangements can be found at the Event Transport Details 3rd August 2005 |
