🌞 Penicuik CC Summer Croquet Event 2026 – Social Report
The sun shone brightly over Penicuik on Sunday 19th July 2026, setting the perfect scene for our annual Summer Croquet Event. What followed was an afternoon filled with friendly competition, enthusiastic lawn‑side support, and the kind of banter that only curling players can produce.
Juice flowed freely, strawberries were enjoyed in great quantities, and the sidelines were buzzing with laughter as spectators cheered on the players — sometimes helpfully, sometimes… creatively.
🏆 Competition Highlights
After a closely fought afternoon, the final came down to a nail‑biting play‑off. Huge congratulations to Jim Ramsay & Sheena Dawe who emerged victorious after a tense showdown with Reg Dunbar & Linda McKay.
Trophies — generously sponsored by Garry’s Gardening — were presented to the winners, along with a celebratory bottle of wine to mark their triumph.
🥄 Special Mentions
A hearty round of applause goes to Pam Ramsay and Dawn, who battled valiantly throughout the day. Their efforts were recognised with personalised wooden spoons and a selection of soocky sweeties — awarded in the true spirit of fun and good humour.
