We had several visitors for 3rd Saturday play at Nevin Park in Charlotte. 

Playing for the first time with the Charlotte group were Daniel (CLT), John&Mary (Mooresville), Sylvia (Concord), and Hank (Summerville, SC).

Our Algerian friend, Said, joined us for the second time. His wife, daughter, and grandchildren visited as well.

Mourhite was back from Morocco, along with his wife Mariam. They announced the happy news that they're expecting their first child!

In Morganton (9/15)

 

We played for the third day in a row, this time in Morganton. By the way, our SC members, Hank and Renee were there too; they just were a few minutes late for the group picture.

In Asheville (9/14)

 

As mentioned in the prior post, Hank & Renee were up from Summerville, SC, to visit for a few days, so they played in Hickory on Tuesday and then in Asheville on Wednesday.

Michel's RendezVous restaurant had the usual good crowd of people--some for dinner, some for petanque, and even some for bocce.We were happy that Hank and Renee were able to work Asheville into their travel plans.

 Marc was generous enough to have afternoon play on his inside warehouse terrain on Tuesday, Sep. 13.

Joining the group for their first play as members were Hank Mauldin and wife Renee Barret, up from their Summerville, SC, home (near Charleston).

Though they're a little far away from any of our regular play venues, we hope they'll be able to visit from time-to-time.
