Phil Cordingley Tournament Director |
Phil Cordingley is a veteran of the croquet world, with over 40 years of accomplishments both on the lawn and in the smoke filled committee rooms of the CA and CqE. This will be the fifth occasion he has Directed a WCF World Championship.
Appearances on the lawn restricted almost totally these days to assisting with development at Hampstead Heath CC where he is a founder member, he is more likely to be found pedalling his bike around Britain, Europe, Infinity and beyond. |

Catriona Peterson Deputy Tournament Director |
Although my family have been playing croquet for nearly 50 years I have resisted the temptation until joining Nottingham Croquet Club in 2022.
I am a committee member at Nottingham and this is my first year organising tournaments having recently been tournament director for the European GC Championships. I wish all the players good luck and happy times during your stay in England. |

Ian Vincent Tournament Referee |
Ian Vincent has refereed MacRobertson Shield matches in all four of the competing countries, having first done so in 1996.
He was Tournament Referee when it was last held in England, in 2010, and was a member of the WCF Committee that prepared the 7th edition of the AC Laws. He expects to start by officiating for the lower tiers at his home club, Nottingham, before coming down to Southwick, where he first played a tournament in 1972, and Surbiton, where he is a far country member, for the final two pairs of tests. So he should know where the hoop buckets are kept. |
