It arrived yesterday.  It looks good and we have to thank a host of people who put in the work to make it happen. The Committee, Fred, Reg, Sandra, Malcolm, David M and my son Ben who working as a team humped the flags in and out of the car, helped to barrow the sand and lay the flags.

It’s not finished. We need to think of security, more flooring, some decking in front, shelves, paint and probably more but it’s here so let’s all come down today and have a look and while you’re here play in our 5 game midsummer melee which starts at 10am. The weather looks dry (not like yesterday) and there’s cash prizes waiting to be won and a huge raffle to enjoy.

See you soon!

19 people turned up for the club pairs event which made the maths difficult but after 3 rounds Rock & Roll (Robin & Rita) had won 3 games with +29 and Bouleangers (Daniel and David) had won 3 games with +32. The Bar Stewards (Doug and Alan) had also won 3 but with a small points difference so we were looking to a thrilling final with two free scoring teams. With plenty of spectators  (aka hecklers) it turned out to be  short affair and Daniel and David won the title of Club Pairs champions for 2015 and received a stylish trophy each.

Club Singles is in August and we need to fit in Club Triples which was cancelled recently but there doesn’t seem to be much appetite for triples…

For the second time in a week Huddersfield win a pot. At the Mirfield pairs event Roy and Sue won 2 out of three games as did Pat and Julie but Pat & Julie had the better points difference and won a cash prize for their 3rd place. Lots of distractions – a cricket match, a beer festival, an antique american school bus serving burgers and a lorra lorra people and cars milling about but another great result. Pat and Julie called their team the Munchkins…

 

Out of 42 players Michael was one of only 3 players to win all his 5 games and walked away with the 3rd place in the melee held at Stockton Fox Petanque club today. 16 Huddersfield players attended and most of them won raffle prizes. Nice to see a green shirt winning a prize.

 

Our regular first Sunday of the month melee had 21 players today and Roy took second place behind David W and ahead of Pat. Only David – the winner – and Roy won all their three games.

Next one is Sunday 2nd August. With this placing Roy leaps to the top of the league table hotly pursued by 5 ladies.
