Shirley was busy playing and coaching some of the first-time players and only took 3 still pictures on Sunday, but I managed to get some screenshots from a Facebook video she posted:

Sebastian, Rhonda, & Yossef

Victor, Justin, & Janet

Shari Hoover

Justin

 Shari Hoover, who we had taught to play on Friday in Mocksville, came to Miller Park on Sunday and played all afternoon. Before leaving, she even bought a set of leisure boules to practice with until she sees us again. Looks as though we may have a new regular!

Shirley recruited four guys who just happened to be in the parking lot to play several games. She tried to make a note of their names. Hope these may be close? Justin, Sudharan, Munish, & Sarves?

Sebastian brought a couple of friends who were visiting from New York: Victor and Yossef (sp?).

Glad to have everyone!!!

We had a few of our petanque friends over for games on Saturday, Weather was a little iffy, no swimming, but we had a little petanque and Rummikub to enjoy!

 

 

 

10/2/2026 Mocksville & Boone!

 

There were 12 of us yesterday at the Davie County Community Park in Mocksville, NC, for the first-time organized introduction to petanque. They have two looooooong bocce courts which could easily be divided into four lanes for petanque.

Preston Myers lives in Mocksville, but he's our Carolina Petanque Winston-Salem venue Area Coordinator and hosts weekly play there twice a week at Miller Park.

It's uncertain whether regular play might be feasible in Mocksville, but we'll continue to explore the idea and evaluate interest. 

Meanwhile...

Another group of Carolina Petanque members is exploring the possibility of expanding play in Boone, NC. The venue is Peabodys Wine and Beer. Kirk suggests that the owner may be open to expanding his terrain to four or more courts. The owner plans to visit Michel's RendezVous for ideas about what is possible.
