The Past:

Historically Boules was an unofficial sport at Paris 1900 World Fair.
Like all official Olympic events, these were held as part of the 1900 World's Fair, but the IOC does not regard them as fully part of the Olympic Games.^[13][14]

• Angling
• Ballooning
• Boules
• Cannon shooting
• Fire fighting
• Kite flying
• Life saving
• Longue paume
• Motor racing
• Motorcycle racing
• Pigeon racing
• Water motorsports

In addition to these, 71 schools and 92 military events were also held across a range of sports.

The Future:

What a lovely morning....not as hot as yesterday but nonetheless lovely playing conditions.
Nine players this morning playing individually in groups of three.
Interesting, as without a playing partner it was unusual but playing with the three boules
was very satisfactory.  Interesting, also, that no group got to finish 3 games !

Today's scores on cumulative scoresheet......Congrats Dolores.

Apologies all for delayed update.
Thanks Tony for updating the scoresheets.
Our second competition has been won once again by Shay Coyne.
Congrats Shay on your wonderfully consistent displays albeit with different partners. You've proven yourself to be our star performer.
As previously our 2nd placed competitor was Kitty Rowley and 3rd place was Mike Deegan.
The prize-giving will be at the year-end following the Autumn/Winter competition.
