Lilias Mary Gower, known as Lily, (1877-1959) made her first public appearance on a croquet court, aged 22, at Budleigh Salterton in 1898 where, in front of an increasingly incredulous crowd, she beat the favourite, Mr C. E. Willis, to win her first ‘all-comers’ tournament. The following year she won the Ladies Championship.

Dear Croquet Friends,
Please find attached, details about the upcoming Swiss Opens in both GC (12th-14th July) and AC (2nd-4th August). We are looking forward to welcoming players from across the globe to one or the other (or even both) of these tournaments! I hope that you will be able to join us and would be most grateful if you could pass on this information to any other players who might be interested in travelling to either of these events.
On behalf of the Organising Committee,
Peter Payne
