Like Petanque 1 we aim to enjoy ourselves as we play this game which is gaining increasing popularity here in the UK. There’s always a reasonable element of luck in the game, both useful for explaining away our bad shots and ensuring that the result can never be forecast until the game is over. Afterwards, we’ll repair to the clubhouse for liquid refreshments and to mull over our good or bad fortunes.

We welcome new members and give basic tuition for those who have never played. We have plenty of spare boules, although many buy their own after deciding they enjoy playing. We play in the open air and you should be prepared for a reasonable amount of standing around in British weather.
