We’ll be joined by Bendigo Pétanque Club for the Spring Challenge for the Big Black Boule against Castlemaine U3A to be played on our home pistes on Friday 15 November with a 2pm start. 3 games will be played followed by Afternoon Tea.  This is a very friendly, low key social event and is a great way for those new to the game to start playing in tournaments. 

Last Sunday.

Two of our members - Viv and Andrew - are currently in Japan, so to riff on the Johnny Rivers song of 60 years ago:
“Long distance information tells them Memphis won her three…”

Great work Memphis, for a 13 year old teenager with only a few months' experience to clean up players who’ve been playing much longer than 13 years is  quite something!  Memphis was the only player to win three games, and following in her wake were two game winners Len Hall with 15 points and Phil Hopley and Richard Leach, both with 10 points.

After missing play last fortnight through rain, it was a pleasure to see the sun shining and providing some warmth. We were pleased to welcome Karen Milner, who came for a come-and-try day; and as promised in our invitation, was presented with a bottle of MPC Whiplash White.
It was also a pleasure to welcome back Sandy Noble after her recent run-in with a slippery floor.

Our next fortnightly games, weather permitting, will be held on Sunday 27 October at 1pm on the St Brigid’s pistes.
