Sun was promised. Rain arrived. Only 2 rounds were played as most had had enough after 2 rounds. Winner on the day was new member Andrew followed by Richard and Pauline. Cumulative points table follows.

Today was spring cleaning day at Greenhead Park. Government restrictions were lifted and with a little social distancing and common sense we can play tomorrow.

Moss was scraped off the surround and we admired the new wood at the side of Lane 10

The garden looks full of life

The signs were refreshed. The noticeboard was updated.

Big shed was cleared up. Artificial grass was vacuumed

Chains were bought to cordon off the terrain from spectators

The temperature on Tuesday may reach 25 degrees

See you soon.

At the moment the key date is 29th March subject to later confirmation by the Government. We will be using once again our Government approved ‘Play Safe Guidelines’ and these will be updated and re-issued in plenty of time before we play.

This will allow us to play pétanque without limit on numbers as long as our guidelines are followed. When not playing, ie when members are at the club but not on the piste, the Rule of Six will once again apply. You must stay in a group of not more than six people and must not move between groups at any time during the session of play.
The Club House will remain closed. If members need to enter to pick up gear this should be done quickly and not if anyone else is inside. Masks must be worn inside the club house. The park toilets remain closed and the cafe, when open, will be providing take away service only.

Our Playing Calendar remains in abeyance except for the Member’s Monthly Mêlée’s which we aim to re-start on Sunday April 4th, Easter Sunday, organised by Christine A & Jan followed with May 2nd organised by Sue C, Richard and Nigel. The final event of Round #1 will be played on June 6th.

All of this is subject to there being no change to the key date of March 29th.
