Members of a croquet club are appealing for a new £40,000 lawn that they say will secure their club’s survival.
The Hampstead Heath Croquet Club shares a lawn with Parliament Hill Bowling Club but members are asking the City of London Corporation, which manages the heath, to lay a second lawn for them. They say improved facilities will allow them to attract world-class players and host home matches.
Club member Ian Harrison said: “To survive long-term we need our own lawn.”
The Corporation says there are no funds available.
