CROQUET CLUB BOWER

This is one of several pretty little shelters  - should I call them bowers?- at the croquet club, used by the mainly elderly lady players.  Trying to lure a younger generation into the game, they have "barefoot croquet" on weekends.  As does the lawn- bowls club.  And the kids are coming. Their techniques are - let us say - unorthodox - but they're keen. 

Remember the croquet match in Alice in Wonderland where flamingoes replaced mallets?
