This is a handicap Golf Croquet Swiss event for over 60’s, typically run over several weeks near the end of summer.

The Maud Trainor competition was set up by former CCA President, Senior Referee and Life Member to foster social croquet for the over 65’s. It began in 1981 and Maud herself played in it for 25 years, and until 2015 presented the edible prizes to the winner and runner-up. Initially it was a singles and doubles AC event but this changed to the current format in 2016.
Maud passed away in June 2016, six months before her 100th birthday.
