Morning Coffee: Meadowood Dedication, Selection 8s and New FEC Website

Donna Stark recently posted on the Nottingham List indicating that the Meadowood Croquet Lawns will be officially dedicated in Jerry Stark’s honor next Wednesday, October 27th with a plaque of Jerry’s likeness installed court side. (Caring Bridge Journal Link)

"I understand the plaque is beautiful!  It has been delivered to Meadowood and will be mounted on a boulder set into the stone wall that runs the length of the croquet courts."

Hisham Abouesbaa of Egypt won the first 0ver 50's GC World Champion when he beat England's Stephen Mulliner 7-3, 6-7, 7-6, 5-7, 7-4.

In case you missed it in the forum, the line-ups for the U.S. Selection 8's were posted earlier this week. The association event is scheduled for October 28-31 at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The Federation of European Croquet recently launched their new website. The federation has 20 member countries.

Danny Huneycutt announced on the Nottingham List that the 2011 USCA Association Croquet National Championship will be held April 10 – 16 (Sunday-Saturday) at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. More from Danny:

Some players outside North America have incorrectly been under the impression that you must be a member of the USCA to participate.  The USCA Association Croquet National Championship is to North America what the British Open is to Great Britain.  Singles and Doubles will be played throughout the week.
