We are looking forward to welcoming BRA members and friends to a fun, family day out, at our annual Queen’s Birthday Party. This year we have a new venue, The Aproz football grounds, in 1950 Châteauneuf, Sion. There is an adequate sized lawn to play croquet, which is right next to the covered terrace, where we can sit in comfort to watch the game while waiting your turn to play. We are honoured again this year with the presence of The President of the Swiss Croquet Association, Mr. Dave Underhill who organises us into teams and explains how this very British traditional game is played. No need to know how to play in order to participate in a team. Bring your own picnic & drinks (facilities available to grill meat or sausages) The canteen has a fully equipped kitchen, tables and chairs for 40+ people inside and more outside as well as toilet facilities.
