First winter melee

…and although there was free food, a presentation and a monster raffle most people were happy to get out of the wind and head for home. Before that Brendan and Yvonne were the only two players to win 3 games. Brendan had the better points difference so is the winner. Linda and Denise (both recently joined) did very well in their first melee. Next Melees are on November 3rd and December 2nd. In the new year they move to the second Sunday.

3 cakes, 24 light bites and 16 samosas

Last week was Macmillan Coffee Morning. We held our event at lunchtime before our regular club session and as you see in the title threw in a few non cake items.

Thanks for this occasion go to the members and friends who baked and brought buns and treats to the party and especially those people who donated money and ate the food.
The Club is pleased to say that the sum of £60.00 was raised on the day and this has now been forwarded to The Macmillan charity.

Huddersfield Decathlon

A bit of fun on Sunday 23rd saw members compete in this years Decathlon multi-skills competition.
10 tests covering a wide area of members playing skills including pointing, shooting, lobbing boule, landing on the target donnée and throwing the jack, once again proved quite a challenge to everyone.
Sharing first place with Brendan was Linda, our newest member at the time!
Linda is seen here receiving her well earned winners medal from Roy
Unlike last year no one scored ‘nil point’ so our skills level must be improving!
Following the competition we had some social play and also welcomed yet another new member, Sarah!
The following Tuesday we had a very encouraging 28 people playing on the terrain which included 7 prospective new members
We had better get some more Application Forms printed!

Today, Huddersfield Petanque Club hosted a social event for 8 delightful ladies from the “Inner Wheel Club Holmfirth”. Since we started over 4 years ago we have had a steady stream of community organisations who have had a petanque day or a petanque afternoon. Some of them like it so much they come back every year. Inner Wheel were on their second time this Monday.
