The International Women’s Day National Pairs event will be held on Saturday June 29th probably at Whitnash in Warwickshire. Last year the qualification for this event was part of the Ladies fun day held at the Fox. The initial intention was to repeat this but to avoid confusion it has been decided to hold 2 events. Both events are now on the playing calendar.

The Ladies Fun day will be held at the Fox on Saturday June 8th, for further details contact

The IWD qualifier for Yorkshire will be held at Hollicarrs on Sunday April 7th. If there are 1 to 4 pairs in the qualifier, only the winner will qualify to represent Yorkshire at Whitnash. 5 to 11 pairs the top 2 pairs will qualify and with 12 to 23 pairs the top 4 teams will qualify.

Entry to both of these events is open to all ladies who play petanque in Yorkshire. However Petanque England membership is required for the pairs who qualify for the IWD event.

We have been invited to play in Ayr (and hopefully Troon) from 20^th – 23^rd June. Help with finding accommodation (be it hotel, self-catering or camping) is available, and shared transport a possibility. If you are interested in this trip please let Nell know by the end of February. No commitment necessary until plans and costings have been finalised.

Ayr is a coastal town which lies on the mouth of the River Ayr which flows out into the Firth of Clyde. The Isle of Arran is nearby and, on a very clear day, you can see the northern tip of Northern Ireland. To get there bear left at Gretna Green.

Sue Mc, Robin and Marie were the top three. Scores after 2 rounds below. E & OE
