Charlotte petanque

 

Lydie on the left and Denyse on the right

We had ten players on a warm 3rd Saturday of June at Nevin Park in Charlotte. Ed, Anne, Denyse, Eric, Lydie, Stephane, Mica, Guillaume, Shirley, and I had a couple of games before, unlike mad dogs and Englishmen, we decided not to challenge the midday sun any further.

Charlotte play on the 3rd Saturday of each month now starts at 10:00 AM in an attempt to enjoy a couple of games before the hottest part of the day sets in for real.

By the way, Morganton players have recently changed their routine play times to 9:00 AM for the same reason.

Changing the subject away from the coming hot weather for a moment, Lydie and Denyse. members of Alliance Francaise de Charlotte, as well as members of Carolina Petanque, advised us that they've had occasion of late to teach petanque to British International School of Charlotte, North Academy of World Languages, and South Academy of International Languages.

Nice!
