"The recent "Alliance Francaise Fun Petanque Competition for Everyone" was a great success with 18 teams (48 people) and a fantastic day was enjoyed by all. We also had some of the best players in NSW training for the Australian Championship in a separate competition as well as our Junior squad, over 100 people on the piste! It was great atmosphere with people of all ages, from beginners to the best! As usual there was great music and excellent prizes from France Direct, Culinarium and Petanque Boules Australia. Thanks to them!
We will host another one on the 1st of April. More details a bit closer to the date.
As usual we had a large representation from the Eastern Suburbs and many people said that if the club was closer to them they would love to play regularly, so we give you.........
Petanque in the Park - Sunday the 18th of February - Centennial Park
Calling all "Backyard Boulistes" and "Picnic Petanquers"! Come to "Petanque in the Park" in Centennial Park!! You know, the game they play with steel balls that is played on hard dirt? Of course you do! This is a casual day, so just roll up. Bring a picnic and bring your boules. If you don't have a set, you can use one of ours. No experience necessary! We'll teach you how to play and explain the basic rules. Come to the Centennial Square service track, just off D ickens Drive, any time between 1:00 and 5:00. It is FREE! For more information contact the Boules Artistes Petanque Club. Call 9665 9943, email
boulesartistes@optusnet.com.au or visit our website at boulesartistes.org.au.
This will be a regular event and we hope to develop a regular group with the intention of starting a club later in the year, to be called the Boules ArtEASTS! We have set a provisional date of the 18th of March for the next Picnic in the Park but will confirm.:
See you there.
