Found two Petanque / Boules playing ares, so far, close by in Melbourne.
Hope to play casually in both before we depart.


The top one is in Caulfield Park n the lower one in St Kilda.
Went from 32 degrees to 16 overnight here recently.  The weather announcers
were suggesting Armageddon.......we were delighted!
Enjoy play on Wednesday.....keep the scores down till we get back!

Eileen, one of the early leaders, will be away for a little while but the cream is already rising to the top.  Well played to all.....and remember it is the taking part and the sociability that is paramount.....Grrrrrr!!!.........I'm looking forward to seeing the progress over the next few weeks.

Enjoy!

The top, weekly scores for each player from 2/3 of the weeks played, in the first part of the year,
will constitute the total for the early year competition.
Tony will determine the finish date for the first competitive season.
The mid summer period, which is most disrupted by holidays, will be non-competition play.
We hope to resume competitive action from late summer on-wards similar to last  year.
