Melee – 17 June 2018
A very enjoyable Melee was held today organised by Mike Jones. The weather was a bit iffy but 16 players turned out to take part. It was especially encouraging to see potential new members Bob, Marge and Tony competing. Only 2 games were played and 7 players managed to win both games including newcomers Bob and Tony.
When all the scores were totted up, Tom Mills & John Barnes were placed joint 2nd and the organiser, Mike Jones, declared himself the winner.
Heard in the Club afterwards when explaining how a melee works “Its a great way for the weaker players to compete as, if they get paired with a good player in each game, they have a very good chance of winning”.

Never Knew Working Could Be Such Fun!
All Club Members,
Members should be very pleased and grateful for the work done on Friday 8 June at our club. A group of hardworking members volunteered their time and 
energies to tidy up the pistes. Sixteen panels were painted back and front, wood varnished, pots/troughs prepared and the blue shed cleaned. A special thank you goes to Sabi who prepared a delicious meal of soup, followed by chicken with roasties/green veg and white sauce. A first-class meal to fuel the workers. Also, thanks to Lynda who helped Sabi. 
Thirteen members showed how much can be achieved when a group gets together to improve our facilities. Your club provides you with the best petanque experience/surroundings in Wales. All members need to help out when they can. There is still work to be done. Hopefully some additional faces will be available for the next maintenance day. Details will follow in due course.
My thanks and gratitude go to all members who contributed on a memorable Friday.
Thank you,
Mike
Club President

This is a very popular and friendly competition which is an ideal starter for anyone who has not taken part in competitions and we would encourage everyone to give it a go – you never know how you might get on. Even if you don’t do very well the experience is invaluable in developing your game.

Today’s Club Melee
A big thank-you to Roger Green who ran today’s melee which replaced the Open Triples which we had to cancel due to the lack of entries. In glorious sunshine 25 people took part in a very enjoyable competition which was eventually decided on points difference with a number of players having 3 wins out of 3. The top three were:
| 1st | Lynda Hodges |
| 2nd | Roger Griffin |
| 3rd | Bernard Adshead |
Thanks again to Roger Green and have a great break in France.
