The centenary of Dulwich Sports Club was celebrated in 1967. The club was first established as a cricket club in 1867 and over subsequent years was joined by tennis, squash, bowls, hockey and croquet. Although croquet as we know it had already been around for 60 years, 1912 is the first mention of it as a sport within the club so this seems a reasonable date to adopt as our year of origin.
In 2023 Dulwich Croquet Club hosted preliminary stages of the Association Croquet World Championships, playing host to all the world’s top players.
