North v South Match
North of Scotland v South of Scotland
From 1989 to 1996 there were matches arranged between North and South.
Bulletin No. 34, April 1989, previews the first match as follows:
We are delighted to be able to tell you of a new fixture this year. The first of what we hope will become a regular match is scheduled for Saturday 17 June 1989 at Pitmedden in Grampian. The Great Garden in Pitmedden, one of the National Trust for Scotland’s many properties in the North-East, is an impressive ‘formal’ garden first created in 1675 and taken over by the Trust in 1952. The match will be followed on the Sunday by demonstration sessions in which we will be encouraging spectators and visitors to the Gardens to try their hand, although details have yet to be finalised. If anyone in the South of Scotland fancies combining some croquet with a trip around one of Scotland’s most delightful gardens in the heart of Whisky Country please let the SCA Match Secretary know!
