AN EVENING OF PETANQUE...EH!!!

Well, not sure how you spell it, not sure how you pronounce it, not sure we knew how to play it either, but it’s a French version of the Boules village square game.

Instead of our regular meeting place we all went to the Wheatsheaf Pub for our usual Tuesday night club meeting.

After a quick beer in the bar we carried them out to the back garden where we studied the ‘Pétanque’ square, got the basic rules sorted, which were changed later, by those who were losing!!!
And what a cracking evening of laughter, ribbing and bantering there was with a subtle underlying competitiveness from certain members, whilst some sat the evening out with a little liquid refreshment.

The evening ended with an excellent meal in the pub, (highly recommended), with more beer and plenty of discussion on the vagaries of the winning team... which after lengthy discussion turned out to be a draw!!
