marcusantonius Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Friends - The Barry Barry Run was an outstanding day for all (thanks for organising it, people), and a 'Tour de Dulwich' could be another fine mess for spectators, but the strenuous nature of it daunted me and I wondered whether there'd be any takers for a more sedate pursuit like a bit of Petanque on some suitable ground in the park? I don't profess to be any good, but have poked it up a couple of frogs in the past and would love to get some practice in before returning to the crucible in Nimes.While not totally up to speed on the legislation, I don't think the local bobby would quibble with a tall glass of Pastis, nor a troupe of befrocked ladies and crevatted gentleman throwing weighty metal objects around in a public place... If anyone likes the idea of this, or if there is already a suitable local league in Dulwich, please let me know.

Tony.London Suburbs Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Anything that involved " poking it up a couple of frogs in the past" is worth a punt imdo.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sounds fun. Wasn't Big Phil going to install a rink (or whatever it's called) at the Prince Albert?

marcusantonius Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 I think the noun is 'terrain', although could be talking twoddle. We can use the dirt in the park... What's important is the numbers as I've had enough of playing with myself!
