Next week the Monkstone Pétanque Club is hosting the Cardiff Catenian group for an evening of boules. This is the third year we have had the pleasure of their company and we are expecting at least 20 people.

Can as many club members as possible support this event by lending a hand and by bringing spare sets of boules.
The format of the evening will be:
– Club members will form teams with our guests and offer guidance on how the game is played, but many of our guests will know the ropes by now.
– Please wear your club shirt.
– The Catenians are providing light refreshments.
