WCF Re-launches Association Croquet Regeneration Working Group

The World Croquet Federation (WCF) re-formed its Association Croquet (AC) Regeneration Working Group in March 2024 to address the global decline in Association Croquet participation. While grassroots efforts remain essential, the Working Group will explore potential initiatives at the global level, such as rule adjustments, digital resources and enhanced coaching materials. Representing major AC-playing nations, the group includes Debbie Lines (Chair), Jeff Soo (Management Committee), Graeme Roberts (Management Committee), Alan Sands (ACA), Bonnie Johnstone (CNZ), Stuart Lawrence (USCA) and Stephen Wright (Croquet England). The group’s Terms of Reference, released in July, outline its strategic objectives. More details are available on the WCF website.
