Congratulations to all the Carolina Petanque players for a job well done!

Wednesday morning play

Shirley had her camera at Griffith Park in Winston-Salem on Wednesday, but she forgot to take any pictures until we were loading up the van to go home!  Fred, Rom, Shirley, and I played singles and doubles.  Morning sessions are nice even though we can't get the crowds that Sunday afternoon play attracts.

Griffith Park (W-S) on 5/17/2015

Does anyone in Carolina Petanque have better shooting form than Parker?

Great petanque weekend! Today was hot but some breeze--and a canopy for shade (Whew!). National Pétanque League and leisure play both. So very, very, glad to have had the Edwards and Lopez/Bunn Families make the drive down today. So much fun! Thank y'all! Thanks to all who came out!
