#  First true handicap singles. Earlier Member's Championships had not featured bisques!  
^  Years in which main singles event affiliated to All England Handicap.  
(")  Masters becomes 'Advanced Level Singles' rather than 'Ordinary Level Singles'.  
(**)   Masters (technically) open to all Shropshire based players for first time.  
($)  Masters takes on extended (league like) format across season, with concluding play offs.  
(x)  Masters re-orchestrated as single life knock out, with latter matches best of three games.  
(!)  Doubles pairings now drawn by committee. No player permitted same partner two years running.
(&)  Doubles pairings once more open to competitors choice.    
1  As structured ladder, 2 As 'Labyrinth' (3D Ladder); 3 As single strand 'Rainbow Swiss'.  
   From 2008, games no longer had to be handicap.    
No trophy awarded. I have no formal record or personal recollection of this event. (Probably managed by Bob.G.)

** Upon abandonment of 'Fun Doubles', Christmas Trophy (temporarily mislaid) not awarded again until instigation of 14 point Handicap.
$ Competition run as light social event using index which heavilly disadvantaged leading players.
* First 'Short Croquet' event run strictly according to C.A. rules, including handicapping.
(^) Handicapping system modified after members expressed dis-satisfaction with generosity of C.A. Model.

 

Llew' Trophy                               for most improved player.

Finally, one should note collective Club Honours; We were twice WMFCC 2nd division champions in the early nineties (? year), also winning WMFCC 3rd Division once at similar time, and won the unified WMFCC Handicap Croquet league in 2002!
