Pétanque Blog – 19/02/2014

As the weather has improved, so has the turnout at the Monkstone Pétanque Club’s Wednesday night training sessions!

Despite the cold, teams managed to successfully participate in two triples games.

Just a reminder to club members that no teams have been decided for the two Wenvoe competitions in March, so there’s room for other members to play if they want to!

Just let Roger Know!

Pétanque in the elements! – 12/02/2014

12 February 2014 / Tony / No comments

Pétanque blog! – Number 1 – 12th February 2014

On Wednesday, club members gathered to brave the elements and participate in the first practice session since the team’s league announcement on Tuesday the 11th February.

Despite the rain, wind and hail, there was a productive evening of play followed by a few pints in the warm bar!

Members will meet again Saturday for the Valentine’s Ball and then on Sunday for another rainy day on the piste!
