First Competition day of 2018.  Fourteen players on a chilly morning that even had snow flurries!

Olive's Room was a welcome retreat afterwards for thawing out over a tea, soup or coffee.

The following photographs follow the progress of the Tommy Craggs Tree Sculpture which is being protected, embellished and floodlit by the Parks Department.  This iconic sculpture will soon be a Northside highlight for Dublin tourism.  Congrats to all involved.

Getting set for the fray on a lovely, mild January morning.  Free play today....Competition starts next week. [Apologies to ALDI, SuperValu, Dunnes, Tesco, Centra etc. for the blatant product placement!]

Tony doing his best to keep the rakes apart!

The High Priestesses of Petanque await the congregation!

The 2018 St. Annes Wednesday Boules season starts with a dusting of snow and six hardy souls.

We decided to play just one game....but, then, the usual story.....we warmed up and played three!

Retired to Olive's Room where we had to sit outside with blankets under us....

Nonetheless a very enjoyable start to a new season.  We won't divulge the scores!

Free play again next week...competition starts on Wed. 31st Jan. weather permitting.

The following photographs don't concern the boules but, rather, the progress around the magnificent Tommy Craggs Tree Sculpture in the corner of the park.
