Eighteen players this morning on a lovely Autumnal pre-Halloween playday.
Obviously the serious play gave way to some play-acting judging by some of the photos Dolores sent on. Great to see that even though we compete most days the competition is secondary to enjoyment of the game and the social gathering...... Thanks to Tony for the photo of the scoresheet. Hope to be there next week...
Our very best wishes to Mike and any other members who may be in recovery.
Nigel has moved into a fairly commanding lead after Week 4..........

Following conversation at Olive's Room recently......... The photos above show a hotel http://www.hotelmarisol.com
beside a Boules area overlooking the sea/beach in a resort St Cyprien Plage. Should players be interested in visiting the location next June start thinking about it please.
Rough proposal:
Aer Lingus flights into and out of Perpignan early June 2019. Hotel/Apartment accommodation. Boules among ourselves daily for a trophy. Pleasure Port, prom, beach, eateries, twice weekly market locally. Subsidised bus service into Perpignan.
Flights n accommodation would need to sorted ASAP to keep costs down. Roughly €800+ for a week pp incl. Flights / Accommodation/ Partial board. We return end Oct /early Nov and can discuss then.

After yesterday's boules, a party of schoolboys and their teacher who were passing by were given a short hands-on induction session on the game by Nigel and Dave at pitch No 3. No photos taken of this event but attached shows Mike, Richie and Dolores taking a few moments to relax after the first game of new competition. (courtesy of Don)
Here's a few photos from a Petanque Club nearby us in S of France. Haven't played there... Just watched. Notice the gravel surface.
