Practice Session #2

Only eight players turned up for the practice session at the Bell last night. The earlier rain and very cold chill probably put many people off.

Pre-Season Practice Session

First open practice session of the season last night at the Anchor. At least it didn't rain. Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun.

2024 Summer League Fixtures Published

No sooner have we declared winners of the Winter League we are happy to say the fixture list for the new 2024 Summer League is now live on the website. The competition starts on April 24th with practice sessions on the two preceding weeks. Thanks to Steve for getting it sorted. Not long now before it all starts. Get out the sunglasses!

Winter League Winners

Congratulations to Anchors Astray for winning the inaugural Winter League. The full results are here on the website. It's been fun and I hope everyone taking part has enjoyed it. The weather didn't have a massive effect on the fixtures which was good, but it was a bit cold at times. Hopefully this will become an annual event with more players and teams taking part.
Now looking forward to the start of the summer league in April which, hopefully will be a bit warmer. Dave

Rule Change For Incorrectly Thrown Jack

Existing rules state a player has three attempts to throw a jack after which it is handed to opponent for three attempts. Recently modified Petanque England rules state the jack should be handed to the opponent to place anywhere on the piste (within the normal boundaries) after one failed attempt. AGM attendees agreed to adopt the Petanque England rule but after three failed attempts to throw a valid jack.
Updated Rules (v8) are available to view and download from the Information page.

2024 Annual General Meeting

It's time to start thinking about the new season.
The AGM will be held on Wednesday the 28th February, 7.30pm at The Anchor in Little Paxton. All players are welcome, including those people who wish to join a team - we'll find spaces for you or perhaps even create a new team. Dave Sellick is happy to continue as Chairman but if anyone would like to take on the roll then feel free to come forward and be counted.
We look forward to seeing lots of you at the meeting.
