Playing the game of Croquet is so much more fun when using the beautiful and substantial specialized equipment from Jaques of London. It can be as challenging and enjoyable sport as any other. Croquet combines the need for tactical ability, judgment and skill in equal measure successfully, due to the non-physical nature of the game and a unique handicapping and Croquet rules system. Because of this the game can be enjoyed at any level by male and female players of any age and ability on equal footing.
When John Jaques introduced Croquet at the Great Exhibition in 1851 it quickly became the vogue throughout the British Empire. Thus putting Jaques at the forefront of the spread of croquet as a sport. In 1864 John Jaques II, wrote and published Croquet; the Laws and Regulations of the Game. He was regarded as the greatest authority on the game at the time. And today, (with some revision) the game of croquet is still played by those rules.
One of Surrey’s most respected clubs, the Reigate Croquet Club, which reopened following the end of World War II, has grown in stature. The club’s popularity inspired this fine handcrafted croquet set, and is presented on a polished wooden stand similar to one made by Jaques in Edwardian times.
Comes with 4 full size, polished and handmade hardwood mallets, a set of 4 color full size double scored Challenge balls, a set of lovely heavy duty paint baked hoops, a painted winning post indicating order of play and the Jaques' Croquet Rulebook. Replace the umbrella stand in your hall with your purchase of this beautiful Reigate Croquet set. It will get many admiring comments!
Ideal for family play, whether a serious competitive sporting game or the shorter golf croquet version.
