Jane and Brendan played their socks off winning all 3 games this afternoon with massive points difference of +31 to become Club Mixed Pairs Champions 2021. Robin and Rita were second and Didier et Dominique 3rd. No-one else won 3 games.

A different style of WI came to play on 12th August. And we had a full evening’s play with a 2 round melee to finish. Here’s Claire demonstrating the classic pointing shot.

And here’s a photo of the group. There were also a few spectators and our clubhouse recorded the first ever nappy change at a petanque club in Huddersfield.

And the winner was Rachel !!!

A group of francophiles enjoyed a social evening playing boules on 11th August. As they were all keen French speakers much of the session was conducted partly in French. We had our resident frenchman Didier and his wife Dominique to add a taste of real French speakers.

After the usual explanation and practice a 2 round melee was played although it was cut short with a sharp shower. The scoring was done and although Christine had a similar record the eventual winner was Ann. She won the gold medal and had a photo taken next to an impressive trophy. We hope to see them again next year.

35 people at the terrain today. 12 playing a league match; 6 at boule school; the rest playing social games. Mr Blue sky is living here today. Hey hey hey.
