We'll be back into it early in the new year.  First practice day is Thursday Jan 8 and first game day is Jan 18th.  

Our free popular Thursday practice sessions are now starting at 5 pm.  If you're curious about what petanque is all about, we'll lend you boules and coach you through the basics.  If you're an experienced player, come and work on your pointing/shooting skills without the pressure of performing in a game.
They're very relaxed friendly sessions and first-timers will have a pleasant surprise!

It was great to welcome back our Moonabellians Avis and Sandra, now that winter has passed and we hope the kangaroos leave them alone on the way home. Richard Leach was also back again playing after a health run-in, while Ken and Jenny from the Bendigo club came for the games.
Only one player won three games, Geoff McLennan with 17 points. who also won the first out of the hat prize, indeed a lucky day. The other prize winners were Phil Hopley 2 wins 19 points, Bruce Ackland 2 wins 17 points and Sue Ackland 2 wins 10 points.
Early in the year we had to cancel our annual day with Mt Macedon PC because of inclement weather, it is now being planned for Saturday 8 November at Gisborne.
Our annual Spring competition with Castlemaine U3A is scheduled for Friday 21 November on our home pistes. We hope to retain the trophy.
Next fortnightly games will be on  Sunday 12 October  on the St Brigid’s pistes starting at 1.00pm. Be there a little early to go into the random draw. 
Our Thursday arvo practice sessions are still popular, come and have a go!  Beginners welcome, we’ll show you the ropes. 3.00pm on the St Brigid’s pistes.
