The Club is pleased to confirm that the CERN Croquet Club will host us on its Prévessin lawns on Saturday 9 August 2025. Should the weather be unfavourable, the gathering will move to Sunday 10 August.

The lawns are situated at CERN, Site de Prévessin. They are reachable by car via the D35 from Ferney-Voltaire towards Saint-Genis or, immediately after the border, via the route de Meyrin and then the C11 to the very end. Public transport is also available: bus 66 departs Geneva Airport at 09:43, takes about an hour, and leaves a seven-minute walk to the lawns.

From 11:00 a welcome aperitif will be served; at about 13:30 the barbecue will be lit. Please bring your own food—utensils, plates, glasses and washing-up facilities are provided, and the day is family-friendly.

Drinks at very reasonable prices will be on self-service from the club bar; kindly record your consumption and settle with Ian Gordon, or feel free to bring your own refreshments.

For site access, Ian Gordon will lodge day passes with the CERN guards. To that end he must receive, by Wednesday 6 August, the name, nationality, passport number and vehicle registration of each attendee. It is better to register a few extra names than to risk anyone being turned away at 10:30 on the day, so please advise Ian of any change of plan.

For any questions or further information, please contact Ian Gordon directly.

We look forward to welcoming you for a day of relaxed competition and good company.
