Three lanes of play on 3rd Saturday in Charlotte. Good to have Abdallah and Mourhite back  after some absence.

 

iNDOOR AGAIN

 

Morganton Collett Street Rec Center (300 Collett St, Morganton) on 12/12/2023.

Great to see Jeff Stark up and moving only one week after knee surgery. Looks like he'll be back soon. 

Nine players for Wednesday morning indoor play. It's enough fun to play that we hope to grow it as people become aware.

As the year draws to an end, we want to recognize the valuable contribution our departed friend Ben made to the lives of so many.

The pictures and information here were shared already via email to those on our mailing list, but we would be remiss not to let any others who might happen upon this blog know just how much we all miss Ben and what a wonderful human being he was.

Rest in Peace, Ben.

Love,

We continue to have good turnouts for play in Greensboro. John and Mary Jo, along with capable assistance from Frank, Holly, and others, have really, really done a good job.

The group is now playing at 1:00 PM each Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday at 1105 Hobbs Rd.

John can be reached at 609-203-0192.

It's December!

 

Though December has arrived, it's still a great time for petanque in the Carolinas. Here are some snaps of this past Sunday at Miller Park.

Deck the Boules

 

Thanks Sue & Lane!

Obverse

The Edwards family hosted their annual Deck the Boules event on December 2, 2023. There were about 25 to 30 people who braved the cool-ish, damp-ish, wet-ish, dreary-ish weather and by so doing were able to thoroughly enjoy the warm hospitality and conviviality of  gathering with Kirk, Bo, and friends.

We're sorry if you weren't able to make it this year. You missed a great time.

Thanks Bo & Kirk!
