About

History

Our club was founded in 2010 when quite a few Ballina Croquet Club Incorporated players formed a sub-club of the Ballina Bowling & Recreation Club (known as Cherry Street Sports).  Since then our club has continued to grow from strength to strength and with the ongoing support of Cherry Street Sports our membership has increased four fold between 2010 and 2024.

Who we are

We're a fun club with a focus on ensuring all members enjoy themselves, both on and off the lawns.

We're fortunate to have our lawns maintained, including 6 days a week mowing, by Cherry Street Sports greenkeeping team. Similarly our clubhouse and surrounds are maintained by Cherry Street Sports club and the Elfco greenkeeping team.  This means our volunteers can simply focus on ensuring all members enjoy their croquet experience.  

We welcome new members and visitors with open arms and hearts.
