This was on February 1st at Heckmondwike. The squad was Brendan, Pete, Margaret, Vero, Shirley, Melvyn, Carol, Paul & Keith. Each player played 4 games and had 2 rest periods. The scoring system is complicated but after 1 fixture out of 4 we are in 3rd place. This may change when official scores are released.

First melee of the new season with 24 members and Brendan won all 3 games with a massive points difference of +35. Marie, Terry B, Kevin and Amy also won 3 games. Thanks to Robin and Rita for scoring. Volunteers needed for the 11 remaining monthly melees.

Huddersfield Pétanque Club wishes all members and followers the compliments of the season. Don’t forget the mulled wine and mince pies event on Tuesday 23rd December and we look forward to another exciting new year of boules in 2026. Next Monthly Mêlée is Sunday 4th January.

Sunday afternoon, in spite of the rain 13 played the full 3 round melee and the last match was played in twilight! Amy ran the competition very competently for which we are very grateful. Robin was the winner, Linda was second and Nigel was third. The overall winner was Robin with Linda and Steve P in 2nd and 3rd place. 43 members took part over the 6 months from July to September; 9 failed to trouble the scorers.
