We welcomed Nigel O Mahony who joined us on Piste 1 for half the play.
In Shay's absence Kitty has moved into the lead but we will be applying the 2/3 of best results rule at the end of next weeks play. All to play for!!
Very noticeable that all players are improving while having fun playing.
Interesting website from our near neighbours.

A very nice morning with 17 players.
The Park was very busy on the fine morning with parents, grand-parents and their children enjoying the last few days before the holidays are over and children return to school.
We had many groups and individuals stopping and watching proceedings and even a few ripples of applause!
The interest in the game across age groups is palpable and probably needs to be harnessed/directed by relevant agencies in Parks Dept.
Check the league results thus far:

Thirteen players braved the inclement, mid-summer weather today.
Despite the rain all games were enjoyable and we even sat outside Olive's Room for coffee afterwards.

The result sheet from today's play.
Not the best day for mid-summer but all sixteen played through the rain!
Shay currently cementing his place at the front of the pack. Kitty a close second.

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]
Take a look at the following link and start taking things seriously!!!!

Shay is shading over Richard by one point at present.
A long-established group play every Friday in the Park.
I took these photos last week, with their permission.
They would also like the pistes upgraded and drained.
