4-5 May 2019, Meadows
Held at Meadows CC, the Spring Weekend attracted eight players prepared to accept colder conditions. Saturday had some sun and a hint of rain and Sunday was cooler, but dry. Recent weather and fertiliser had encouraged grass growth to an excessive length for some, and runs near hoops were evident; generally the surface played well, despite noticeable undulations.

James Hopgood won the Glasgow Open. The weather was rather on the cold side. In fact it was bitter on Sunday. Eight players braved the weather and handicaps ranged from -2 to 12.
Kevin Wright managed to hold up both James and John to time in both games. James blamed carrying the baby about on one arm, therefore making one arm stronger than the other, for causing his shooting to be out of balance. I on the other hand was just too cold on Sunday and could not do anything. James eventually sorted out his problems and won all his games but with only one TP, against Rosemary.

The 2018 Chairman’s and Malmet were both played at the Meadows Croquet Club. The warmth of the long summer was but a memory having given way to damp and cool autumnal conditions. Neither blessed with an Indian Summer nor monsoon conditions, the games were played under Scottish grey.
The fields for the Chairman’s and Malmet were the strongest ever, with a long reserve list. The average handicap for the Chairman’s was 0 with the highest being 1. For the Malmet, the average was 4 and the highest was 6.
