WENVOE PÉTANQUE CLUB - NEWS & EVENTS

Club Visitors

Played boule on holiday in France? Fancy having another go?
Then why not accept our invitation, come down to the Playing Fields on a Sunday morning and join in?
You'll be assured of a warm welcome, some excellent guidance and advice and maybe even a cup of coffee!
We meet almost every Sunday throughout the year (we're by and large a hardy bunch so the weather's got to be very bad for us not to be playing) usually starting at around 10.00.
We generally draw for teams rather than stick to the same ones, which makes for a very sociable few hours.

There's no charge for new potential members who would like to try their hand. You're welcome to have a go on three occasions before you make up your mind, and if you do decide you'd like to join the Club, you'll find details on the Membership page.

We look forward to seeing you.

2006 Home Nations - Saturday/Sunday 12/13th August 2006

Hosted at the Cardiff Yacht Club over two days, this event was very well-attended and supported. Unfortunately, our Irish friends were unable to attend this year, but we hope to see them next year when Scotland will host the event.

Five Wenvoe players represented Wales (Jeff Ball, Dave Cannan, Mike Jaques, Karen MacLeod and Bob Pugh) and although the results could have been better, the whole of the Welsh team enjoyed the weekend. Congratulations to the England Senior Team who won the main event, and in particular to the England 1 side who were unbeaten in 12 games.

M.P.L. Hereford Open Triples - Sunday 25th June 2006

Wenvoe entered four teams in this ever-popular competition held, as in previous years, at the Hereford Leisure Centre. As usual, the event was superbly organised and run in a very efficient and friendly manner - Full marks to the organisers.
Following the morning's three "open" rounds two of the Wenvoe teams qualified for the RRTS Pool (Wenvoe Raiders - Mike Jaques, Jeff Ball & Glyn Attley (of the Monkstone PC) & Gwenfo - Tony Jellings, Robert Pugh & Charlie Schols) with the Raiders making their way to the Final where, unfortunately, they were just pipped at the post! Gwenfo just failed to make a semi-final place.

Wenvoe Dragons (Dave Cannan, Karen MacLeod and Reg Brice) made it to the Final of the Beddards Pool where they too just lost out, while last year's Champions, Wenvoe 3 (Mike Coleman, Jill French & Gloria Davies) played in the Inches Pool.
