Thibodaux on Friday, 2/2/2024

 

Friday was for practice at the courts. However, in the evening, our wonderful hosts for the event, Guy and Catherine Diebold, had some of us over to their fabulous house within walking distance of the park.

Dinner at Gina's

 

We made the 830 mile drive from our Lexington, NC, home to Thibodaux, LA, over a two day period to attend the Thibodaux Petanque Club's inaugural tournament.

We spent our first afternoon and evening, after the obligatory trip to Walmart, throwing a few boules and then going out to dinner with some of the Thibodaux crowd at Gina's at the Legion . Our trip was definitely off to a good start!

Soft Boules indoors--Jan 30, 2024

 

We are continuing to play on Tuesdays at 1:00 PM indoors at Hanes Hosiery Community Center located at 501 Reynolds Blvd, Winston-Salem, NC.

The attendance has been sparse with only 6 to 8 players attending, but we have hopes to grow our numbers as time goes by. We know from our outdoor play experience that it takes quite a while to attract people to a new, unfamiliar game.
