A Little Bit More Magic

25 November 2023 / / No comments

Monkstone PC is pleased to announce that we received a Magic Little Grant through the partnership between Localgiving and Postcode Community Trust. Postcode Community Trust is a grant-giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery. Localgiving is the UK’s leading membership and support network for local charities and community groups. Our project received £500, plus £50 Match Funding, to help us buy more equipment for non members to play, and to invite local groups and schools to play petanque. With the interest generated from young people we intend to start a junior section of the club in 2024.

Monkstone Petanque Club is extremely grateful to Localgiving and the Postcode Lottery for their continued support following the awarding of a grant last year towards the cost of the roof extension to our clubhouse.

September 100 Club Draw

28 September 2023 / / No comments

The September draw was made on 22 September 2023, at the Club. The lucky winners were:

1 Roger Griffin £79.50
2 Margaret Dyer £26.50
3 Steve Nott £13.25

The 100 Club continues to expand with potentially another 3 members for the October draw. With the current 53 members this would push us to a new largest prize money pot with a monthly first prize of over £80.  And remember there is a bonus draw in December for a prize of around £150 (depending on the number of members). If you are not a member please consider joining. The more people that join the bigger the prizes and the more improvements we can make to YOUR Club.

Congratulations to the winners but don’t forget:

YOU HAVE TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT

Monkstone PC Open Day

20 August 2023 / / No comments

WHAT A GREAT DAY!. When we decided to have an Open Day we had no idea what response we would get. Thanks to a mammoth publicity effort consisting of leafletting the whole of Penylan, posters in shops, churches, community centres, libraries, posts on community Facebook sites and good old word of mouth we had an estimated 60 visitors. Even the earlier rain, before the sun came out, didn’t dampen the fun.  For most of the visitors it was their first experience of Petanque and all said they had enjoyed it. We didn’t expect immediate results but 2 couples joined the club on the spot, others took away membership forms and even more said they would definitely be back.

Here are a few images of the Open Day in full swing:
