Croquet NSW, Australia

Croquet NSW (CNSW) is an incorporated body with some primary objectives to conduct, encourage, promote, advance and administer the sport of croquet throughout NSW and at all times act on behalf of and in the interest of its Members and the sport in NSW.

CNSW operates under a Constitution which allows membership either through an affiliated croquet club, which is the most usual membership, or as an individual member. Currently there are approximately seventy clubs across NSW & the ACT. NSW with more than 3000 members, has the most of members of any State. The Constitution allows the formation of Committees to assist in the running of CNSW and it requires CNSW to have a range of Policies and Proceedures that are reviewed and updated regularly.

The business and future direction of CNSW is managed by a duly elected Board of Directors. Three of the Directors fill the roles of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.
