Never played? That's ok.
Starting something new can be daunting, fortunately our clubs have members who are lovely and welcoming. When you arrive you will be into the swing of it and be playing club days immediately. The game is easy to play but difficult to master. Come to a session, meet the members, and enjoy some games. We look forward to welcoming you.

Where to beginHold onto your stick, it's time to go hitting. This isn't the usual nice morning walk.
Choose your target
That threatening Red ball must be hit into the bushes. The tactical decision has been made. Sorry not sorry. That ball is disappearing.
Execute the shot
With the precision of the King's archer you fire your ball at the Red.
