Huddersfield podium in Yorkshire Day event
A good day for Huddersfield Pétanque as all our three teams reached the Main knockout Finals.
Robin and Rita went on to the Final of the Mixed Pairs but lost the big prize. Roy and Brendan were losing semifinalists in the Open Pairs as were Kevin, Christine, Pete and Margaret in the Mixed Triples.
When the results of the three competitions were aggregated HPC was tied for second place with Hollicarrs but lost out on count back of wins. So we were placed 3rd out of the 8 clubs who had entered. Leeds won the overall title. A great day of Petanque.
Maureen continues winning streak
Last Melee winner Maureen demonstrated how to do it winning all 3 games with a massive points difference of +21 in the August 1st Melee. As July was washed out this is the first of the second half of the year. Next One 5th September.

Trefoil Guild play Pétanque
In the last week of July a group from the Trefoil guild came for an evening session to learn about the game. There were 16 ladies from the Guild which is a support organisation for Girl Guides across the UK which also has a social side. Across the UK, there are over 1,100 Trefoil Guilds with over 18,000 members.
Trefoil Guild acts like a branch of Girlguiding and its members agree to support the guiding ethos – including the pledge to help other people.
Many members pass on their skills and knowledge to local guiding units, from helping Brownies work towards a badge to preparing older girls for a camping adventure. Many members are unit leaders or helpers in Girlguiding units.
On the day we showed them how to play and at the end of the evening we ran a 2 round competition where we mixed up the teams and collected scores. After this process Louise was declared the winner with 2 wins out of 2 and a large points difference and won the gold medal. Each participant took away a Certificate of attendance and promised to return next year for another evening.
