10 teams entered on a lovely sunny day and only 2 teams won all three games. Paul and Amanda were the best of the 2 games winners so were unofficially 3rd but the winners were Rock & Roll (pictured above) who both won a enormous trophy. Brendan and Fred (Little and Large) were 2nd on points difference. They knew their task when they began their last game as Robin and Rita had an unexpected bye (when someone had to leave early because of the intense heat) which was a 13-7 win but L & L couldn’t quite make it.

Next event where there is a trophy to be won is 9th July – Club singles. 3 rounds plus final. Club policy this year and future years is for winners of such events is to receive trophies to keep.

Let’s hope they’re all big ones.

In May a grand dinner was held to raise money for a local charity. Many prizes were on offer in the raffle. One of the prizes, donated by Huddersfield Petanque club, was a taster session of up to 8 people lasting 2 hours at our terrain.

Francesca won it and with her friends Jadene, Emily & Steph turned up on Friday to claim their prize. They were met by 2 members who gave them basic instructions in how to play and afterwards had 2 games. The techniques improved as time passed and Emily became a really good pointer and Steph fancied her chances as a shooter. They all had a good time and went away happy. They’re unlikely to join the club as 2 of them are emigrating to Vietnam next week and Jadene lives in Leicester but it was a worthwhile exercise. They also seemed very young as they kept on taking photos and using snapchat whatever that is. In the picture above they’re practising pointing. A selfie was also taken and promised to us but it’s not arrived yet.

If you want a prize for your next raffle at your posh charity dinner please ask us. We’ll print you a voucher which you can offer as a prize.

David M and Sue were the only two members to win all 3 games. 17 players on the day.

Sunday 11th June was to be our Open Triples but unfortunately it has to be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Hopefully we can hold it later in the season. Please pass this message on.

Every picture tells  story and this image says Harrogate (new kids on the block) beat Heckmondwike (current champions) 3-2 and Huddersfield lost 1-4 to Leeds. Mirfield had a bye. Things will change hopefully for the better. We have 40 games to play over the next 10 weeks. So far we’ve played 5 and won just 1.
