Rain stopped play starting. The session on How to Point will now be on Thursday at 1300.

The club in association with Kirklees Council and Safer Parks Project, is offering a free taster session for ladies only on Saturday afternoons in April, May & June. Dates are 16th April, 14th May and 11th June all starting at 1pm. Free to anyone and hopefully run by ladies for ladies. Any lady members who want to turn up and help out would be welcome. We have some posters in the clubhouse if you know a womens group who may be interested.

Twenty Two members took part in the April Melee. 

Only 2 members won 3 games with Andy taking 1st place with +25 points and Jan in 2nd place with +12 points. Kevin was top of the 2 wins with +13 points

A fantastic day, The sun shone; 16 teams turned up including visitors from Ripponden Pétanque Club and Kirkburton Pétanque club and some newbies who’d never played before; there were homemade cakes baked by members and plenty of spectators and we all had a great afternoon playing the game. The big news is that on the day we raised £334 for the campaign by donating all entry fees and running a raffle and we’ll be adding this to our previous efforts of Hampers, Scones and cakes afternoon and bucket collections and making the donation before the end of March. Our treasurer is collecting the money and doing the sums and we’ll announce the grand total as soon as we know it.

Winners on the day were Kevin and Christine who won all 3 games with a points difference of +22. Only one other team won all their 3 games. Nigel and Jane had a points difference of +17 to take second place and Sue & Jackie were the best of those that won 2 games. Shout out to Liam and Anna who had never played the game at all until yesterday and came 4th.
