Short notice I know but the nice people at Ricard are putting on a Petanque triples tournament in Battersea Park, this Sunday 13th.


11:30 - 18:00, free entry, just turn up and play.


First prize is Eurostar tickets to Paris.


The only condition is that you must have a team of three.


There will be a Rioard bar there if you wish to sip a refreshing Pastis whilst you play.


There will also be people from the English Petanque Association there if you just want to come down and have a casual game or find out more about the game in London


Can't offer any more info as there is no website but I do have an e flyer which I will try to attach, or if that doesn't work then try to contact [email protected]


Hope to see you there.

Donc moi aussi, Je suis un clodo que bois le Ricard.


Not many of the French tramps I know actually drink Ricard. It's un peut trop cher and they tend to prefer a can or six of Amsterdam beer.


James, I think you should come along. If you don't like the game then we can just hang out in the park, drink Ricard and curse at the general public.

      I completely agree with you . Its as if they have their foot in the door and are just pushing and pushing. It's ridiculous. It's not the right space. they clearly do not give any regard to the environment or they would move it.

      Ideas for week night activities for 14 year old boys

      There's a great badminton club at the Harris girls academy. It runs Friday from 5.30 to 6.45. for more experienced players, they have sessions on Wednesday and Friday, too but that's subject to skill levels

      There seem to be all sorts of blocks for this event being mounted on the Common, one is that it was 'designed especially' for the current site, though the organisers seem to have had absolutely no problem rejigging their plans to the original site footprint to expand the event to what we had last year- which I think really imposed on a large part of the park and spoilt the feel. I would suggest pressing very hard for relocation to the Common ( also closer to transport links). There must be a way, surely? If not, then wholesale relocation to a more suitable venue. I just do not think the park should be subjected to a festival-goer footfall of 60,000 plus over the summer.

      Plans for 174, Rye lane, Peckham (former Asda site)

      I absolutely will. Fed up of property developments that are funded from offshore investors and price out local people. Fed up of the demise of social rents and the growing crisis of families in bed and breakfast. Fed up of young people being unable to save deposits, start families and generally have the same security of tenure that previous generations had. So yes, I will drill down into the financing, affordability, where the properties aer being advertised for sale, and how many are genuinely for social rent. Otherwise, no opposition to redeveloping that site in that way.
