Wrington Twinning Association
BOULES / PETANQUE!
Boules,
or
Petanque
to
give
its
official
name,
is
a
national
sport
of
France
but
it
has
an
international
following
with
tournaments
and leagues everywhere including this country.
You
may
have
seen
it
played
in
France
or
elsewhere
and
marvelled
at
how
it
is
played
by
people
of
all
ages
and
sex.
Why
is
it
so
popular?
Because
it
is
sociable,
easy
to
play
and
anyone
can
become
reasonably
proficient
making
it
a
fun
but
competitive pastime.
Did
you
know
that
there
is
a
league
in
Wrington?
If
not,
you
only
have
to
go
to
The
Plough
Inn
on
a
weekday
evening
during
the
late
Spring
and
Summer
and
you
will
find
people
playing
league
Boules
in
the
garden
of
The
Plough
.
You
will
also
find
people
playing
at
other
times
when
the
weather
is
(reasonably)
clement
and
the
one
characteristic
of
all
matches
is
the
bonhomie
which
accompanies
them!
Then,
whatever
the
result,
you
can
all
repair
to the bar for the well-earned refreshments.
If
you
are
of
a
friendly
competitive
disposition
why
not
join
the
league
which
consists
of
about
20
teams.
Each
team
has
up
to
6
players.
THE
FRENCH
CONNECTION
currently
has
1
team
in
the
league
and
is
named,
strangely
enough,
The
French
Connection
.
If
you
are
a
Member
of
the
organisation
you
may
be
interested
in
forming another affiliated team.
If
not
the
above,
you
may
wish
to
join
an
existing
team
or
you
may
wish
to
form
an
unaffiliated
team
or
be
a
member
of
a
new
unaffiliated
team.
If
you
are
interested
in
any
of
the
foregoing
please contact…..
