Due to a low number of total entries, the Kansas City Croquet Club is announcing the cancellation of the 2018 Missouri Open at Eagles’ Landing. The event would operate at a loss and that negates the primary goal of raising funds for court development in southern Kansas City.

KC Club Schedule–End of Season
SATURDAY GAME: Sorry for the late notice, everyone. I was waiting to see if the rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning cleared up. It looks like we might stay dry, but it’s still going to be pretty cool in the morning. Next Saturday doesn’t look very good either, so this might be the end of the 2017 season, unless we get some unseasonably warm weather.
It was a good year. I hope you all enjoy your winter and find some way to fit in a little practice time. Stay tuned for details on the MCA’s Annual General Meeting in January, and of course we’ll let you know when the 2018 season starts up. Or if we do get some unusually nice weather between now and next spring, perhaps we’ll have a bonus session.

KC Club Schedule–Week 29: Stay Home, Stay Warm
SATURDAY GAME: Looks like the first freeze of the year is due Saturday morning. It’s going to be cold and not really croquet weather, so this week’s session is canceled. We’ll hope for warmer weather next week.
