The Club is pleased to confirm that the CERN Croquet Club will host us on its Prévessin lawns. From 15:00 a welcome refreshment will be served; at about 18:00 the barbecue will be lit. Please bring your own food. Utensils, plates, glasses and washing-up facilities are provided, and the day is family-friendly. Drinks at very reasonable prices will be on self-service from the club bar; kindly record your consumption and settle with Ian Gordon, or feel free to bring your own refreshments. The Club is pleased to offer free registration to play on the international Swiss Croquet lawns.

For site access, Ian Gordon will lodge day passes with the CERN guards. To that end he must receive, by Sunday 30th, the name, forename, nationality, date of birth and  where appropriate, vehicle registration of each attendee. It is better to register a few extra names than to risk anyone being turned away at on the day, so please advise Ian of any change of plan.

For any questions or further information and registration, please contact Ian Gordon directly.

We look forward to welcoming you for an afternoon and evening of relaxed learning or competition and good company.

Location information: 

The lawns are situated at CERN, Site de Prévessin. They are reachable by car via the D35 from Ferney-Voltaire towards Saint-Genis or, immediately after the border, via the route de Meyrin and then the C11 to the very end.

Public transport is also available: bus 66 departs Geneva Airport takes about an hour, and leaves a seven-minute walk to the lawns though if you call, someone could collect you from the gate by car.
