Petanque Tournament this sunday - Battersea Park, free for all!

[Horsebox]

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.

Awesome.

Unfortunately my natural selection of playing partners are away for the day leaving me alone and afraid. Would anyone like a game?

[James]

A petanque tournament? LOL! How delightful.

Does this mean that you'll be there then, James?

Horsebox, how did you get on in Marseille?

[Horsebox]

We had a great time. Good fun but little success. I've made a post in the other thread about.

Thanks for asking, DC.

[James]

No but it sounds like fun! I reckon it should be Pimm's sponsoring it though. Ricard is what French tramps drink

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.
