Alice in Wonderland - Croquet Game I think we should re-enact this on the Bush Hill Park lawns but I'm not sure who would get to be the casting director. I know who I'd have as a flamingo but you may have other ideas - all suggestions on a self-addressed postcard please. (video lasts 4 minutes 36 seconds)

1997 USCA Croquet Championship An American ESPN TV link so this one is a bit cheesy with the commentary. It also however acts as a brief introduction to the game (video lasts 8.32)

Mohammed Nasr Hoop 7 This would look like a really impressive shot if we were not so used to seeing Tony knock them out like this all the time. Ask him for a demo next time you see him. (1.16)

World Golf Croquet Champs S-F Ahmed Nasr vs Chris Clarke  Clip of the semi between Ahmed Nasr and Chris Clarke - it shows the first 6 hoops. The match was played on a bowling green at KelvinGrove with gale force winds so you might want to turn the sound down to avoid the wind noise - beware shaky camera work...which is why I'd like any of you out there who know of better links to let me know. (10.00)
