Following this week’s AGM, thank you and congratulations to the following members who have volunteered and been elected to the committee.

• Chair – Paul
• Secretary – Chris
• Treasurer – Mike
• Committee – Alan
• Committee – Charles
• Committee – Gavin
• Committee – Jo
• Committee – Neill
• Committee – Pam

In addition, Gavin has kindly agreed to maintain the website, so if you have any content or photos please do get in touch with him directly.

In other news, the following key points from the meeting will also be of interest to members.

Melees – rather than continuing with the monthly melee, the club will instead focus on arranging a club day / social at some point in summer. The committee will organise this and set a date shortly so watch this space!

Club Sessions – in order to avoid extensive hanging around waiting for the last game to finish before enabling the remix of players, starting this Sunday, the last game playing will instead play just one further end after everyone else has finished to determine the result. This will speed up the remix of players and enable everyone to begin the next round sooner.

Equipment – access to equipment is limited due to the opening times, so it would be greatly appreciated if any members with spare boule could bring them to future sessions so that others can borrow them. We are currently looking at alternative storage options, but for now any spare sets will be helpful.

The full minutes have been circulated to members, so that’s it for now and see you soon 🙂

Next Tuesday 12th March at 6pm we will be holding our AGM at the Vesper Gate Pub. This is your opportunity to have your say on how the club is run, and perhaps even put yourself forward to join the committee.

Following the AGM there’s the option to join the pub quiz at 8pm.

Hope to see you there!

It’s that time of year again and annual subscriptions are due.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could make prompt payment via bank transfer (please include your name followed by ‘membership’ as your payment reference), or alternatively please bring cash to a club session in an envelope with your name on.

If any of your details have changed, please let Chris know via email.

Happy bouling! 🙂

Sunday 14th January, 11.00am – Melée with Huddersfield

We have invited Huddersfield Pétanque Club to come over and participate in a friendly melée. We will be mixing players of all abilities from both teams, and this is an opportunity to meet and play with some new people in the spirit of friendly competition. Depending on numbers there will be opportunities for doubles and triples matches. Retiring to the pub afterwards will be an optional additional feature. In order to get a sense of possible numbers, if you could let Paul know you are interested that would be helpful (in a non-contractually binding way!).

Sunday 21st January, 11.00am – Club Melée

Come and join other club members for an informal competition and the chance to claim the first trophy of 2024!

Seasons greetings to you all!

For those of you who are free and fancy a bit of fresh air and exercise, we will be adding a few extra play dates over the Christmas period. As well as the normal 2pm on Wednesday and 11am on Sundays, which will continue throughout (weather and general hardiness permitting), we are also meeting at 11am on Boxing Day and on New Year’s Day. Feel free to join in, Christmas jumpers and tinsel are optional decorative features for these sessions.
