For most of our regular players, I am sure the faces below are very familiar, but new members might like to know who we are.

Our President Simon Carter

I’ve been playing croquet since I was 10 and my parents bought a set for their back garden. I remain passionate about the game and have been fortunate enough to represent England at three world championships. When I’m not playing croquet, I run a men’s clothing brand. I live in London and Itteringham, near Aylsham.
 

Chair Roddy Willett

I joined the HCC as a ‘novice’ in 2024 looking for an opportunity to socialise and develop a new sporting skill … croquet really fits the bill. Recently taken up the role of Club Chairman and hoping to increase the popularity of this absorbing pastime.

 

Secretary Grenville Perry

I joined HCC in 2019

 

 

 

Treasurer Mary Williams

I joined the club in 2024 and love playing on the social afternoons in such a beautiful location.

 

 

Committee member Janet Kendal

I joined the club in 2005. I thoroughly enjoy the competition and friendship whilst playing in the fresh air

 

 

Committee member Gwenda MacKenzie

I joined HCC in 2016 and joined the committee at the end of my first year.

 

 

 

Committee member Ellie Lewis

I joined HCC in 2019 and have enjoyed many happy afternoons playing croquet. I continue to learn with every game. I joined the committee in 2022 and am currently responsible for the housekeeping.

 

Committee member Andrew Vickery

I joined the club in 2018 and the committee in 2022. I enjoy social and slightly more competitive play. I hold the bar licence and have just started to do the monthly health and safety audits.

 

Committee Member Zena Penty

I joined the club in 2022 and the committee in 2024, primarily to be more involved and to help promote the club using social media and local newsletters. I love most sports and have found croquet a tactically challenging and enjoyable game. The club is a lovely friendly place to be in any weather- especially a sunny afternoon. 

The Chair is elected for a term of 5 years; the other committee members are proposed at the AGM and voted on by the attendees. Please ask any of the committee if you think you might be interested in standing in the future.

A club is only as friendly, vibrant and sustainable as its members make it and we are hugely appreciative of the work done by our members. It would be wrong to pick out individual contributions but you and we know who you are!
