UBUD CROQUET CLUB Monday, tomorrow, is croquet time again at Dewangga Bungalows at Jl Dewisita opposite Batan Waru and next door to Mingle Cafe. Game starts at 9.30 and continues to about 12.00. All welcome. Following is a quote from: Croquet: The Complete Guide to History, Strategy, Rules and Records by James Charlton & William Thompson. The ebb in croquets popularity was due, in part, to the games surprisingly unsavory reputation. It had become associated with gambling, drinking, and philandering to such an extent that it was banned in Boston by one Reverend Skinner, and several articles of the time called upon both clergy and laity to suppress the immoral practice of croquet. Do join us for this reputedly unsavoury game.
