The June draw was made at the club on 29 June 2022 at the Club. The lucky winners were:

1 Stephen Osling £69.00
2 Mike Jones £23.00
3 Denise Jones £11.50

We now have 46 members of the 100 Club which continues to be the largest number of members ever and so the largest prize money pot. 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. It would be great if we could get to 50 members giving a monthly first prize of £75.

Congratulations to the winners but don’t forget:

YOU HAVE TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT

Young People Enjoy Boules at Monkstone

Recently Monkstone Petanque Club played host to a group of students with additional learning needs from Coleq y Cymoedd (Nantgarw). The college seeks to give the students experience of all different types of sporting activity.

The group consisted of 5 students and 3 teachers/assistants which divided up very nicely into 2 sets of doubles. Club members Keith Thomas, Roger Griffin, Mike Jones & Bernard Adshead were on hand to explain the game and provide some gentle coaching.

The students had varying degrees of impairment but all took to the game, as did the teachers/assistants, and were very competitive. The Club members found it a very rewarding experience and following the success of the morning, it is hoped that in the future we can host further groups from Coleq y Cymoedd.
