Club History
Founded: 1991
The first attempt to establish croquet on the Blackall Range appears to have been in 1988 when an advertisement appeared in The Range News, requesting a level area on which a group of enthusiasts could play the game.
This area was found in a backyard adjacent to Mountain View Road [so named because of the breathtaking panorama of The Glass House Mountains], which can be viewed from many vantage points along its entirety.
Efforts to find a permanent home continued with the present site being negotiated with the Showgrounds Management Committee in 1990. In December 1992, the first lawn was laid.
