Waiting for tomorrow
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.
The Roadmap to Return to Play
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.
Sunday 3rd January
The relatively good news for 2021 is that we remain in Tier 3 – for now! Let’s hope that the New Year is a much better one for all of us and our sport. Monthly members melee is cancelled for January 3rd. Happy New Year.
Rule Change
The OFFICIAL RULES OF THE SPORT OF PETANQUE have been revised. The new rules with changes highlighted can be viewed at Rules-of-Petanque2020-Review (Click to download)The rule change that will affect most day to day play is Article 7. 3) which now reads “The jack must be a minimum of 50cm from any obstacle and from the end line of the lane, it must also be a minimum of 1.5 metres from another jack in use. (note: no minimum distance is required from the “side” line that separates the lanes or the dead ball lines at the side of the lanes)
