We’re on Twitter
Huddersfield Petanque club is now on Twitter. Anyone can follow us and if they do will receive our tweets. It’s a new venture with many challenges as we work out what we can do and what is the best thing to do. Please pass on the address which is @Hudd_Petanque and have a look when you have time. We hope to tweet once a week (although we believe some people tweet once an hour) and suggestions are welcome.

Generation Game back in July
Play with your grandchild, grand niece, grand nephew in a 3 round pairs competition. The date is Sunday 31st July starting at 1300. It’s open to all but the Grandperson involved should have some idea of how to play. We can supply boules.
£2 Entry fee per team, Trophy to winners to keep for a year, every junior receives a medal and a bag of sweets.
The rules are that pairs must have a grand relationship not just a son/daughter relationship. Children must be under 16. Grandpeople should be around 60.
Last year we had 8 teams and you can see more in the archives here
The standard of play was very good. Please let the club know if you want to enter and tell us your team name. We’ll start a list on the sidebar on the right so you can see who’s entered. Register by email or talk to a committee member.
Triangular Match
Sunday 26th June saw teams from 3 local clubs battle it out over 4 rounds in a triangular event. 4 pairs from each club played 4 games (2 against each of the other teams) and after 3 hours of to-ing and fro-ing and bits of skill and also luck a winner was announced.
In the interim players took light refreshment in between rounds and chatted and everyone got on really well. Mirfield had a few guest players; Heckmondwike had 2 dutch guest players and in addition to the 24 playing in the match there were a dozen or so casual players and a few newcomers playing as well so nearly 40 people in total. The terrain was very nearly full.
Round 1 was won by Hecky with 3, Hudd 2 and Mirfield 1. Round 2 was the same. Round 3 saw Hudd have 3 wins, Hecky 2 and Mirfield 1. The last round saw a magnificent display from Mirfield winning all 4 of their games with Heck and Hudd taking one each.
After it was all added up it meant Heckmondwike had 9 wins, Huddersfield 8 and Mirfield 7. A close run thing. Heckmondwike volunteered to host the next triangular event one day in the future.
