GROUP CONVENOR – Pippa Boardman
Petanque is essentially a form of Boule, played by the French and Spanish in their town squares.
The game is played in teams of 2/3 with matches lasting about 45 minutes. There is a competitive element to the game and a basic level of fitness is needed. We play for about 2 hours on the last Saturday afternoon of the month at 2pm.
There is a social element to playing with members often stopping for a drink after the game. There are also events with other teams often involving a meal as well as a game!
You will need to join Tregony Social Club £10pa.
To get started the club has boules that you can practise with and the existing players will help with how to play.
