He is qualified as a beginner coach and a referee. Neil has represented Cammeray in the Silver Pennants (2006-7) and the Gold Pennants (2008).

Di has been playing Croquet for four years. Like many she had been aware of the game for many years and finally decided to see what it was all about by attending an open day with a friend. The friend dropped out and Di persisted. For Di it is not the competition but belonging to a friendly club with plenty of opportunities for social play with interesting people that is the main attraction. Di was Assistant Secretary from 2006-2008 and currently shares the Social Secretary position with Georgie Ofner |

Lawns Manager Handicap Committee Member |

| Warren Yates |
|
Assistant Secretary Handicap Committee Member |
Warren had the intention of taking up croquet for a very long time – his in-laws took it up when they retired and he was impressed by the way it became an all consuming passion for them. His mother-in-law Betty Potter is still playing a very competitive game at South Terrace Club in Adelaide. Warren took up the game four years ago in semi retirement and hopes that one day he will have time to put in the serious hours of practice needed to bring his handicap down. In the mean time he enjoys playing in the Pennants and CNSW tournaments as well as social play at the club whenever he can. He was Junior Vice President in 2006 and Senior Vice President since then. |
