Our Bavarian Blast...
Sunday the 18th of September was a hot day at the Lamorinda Petanque Courts. Not only the weather but also our Bavarian Blast! We had 35 visitors of whom 26 played in four Doublette games. We planned to have 5 games, but because everyone was enjoying their lunch so much that we were only able to start again at 3 o'clock and only got four games in.
Many thanks to all the people who pitched in to make this such a success: the preparation, lunch service and the cleanup afterwards.
Everyone had a good time and after the ' formalities' the usual suspects stayed on and played until it was too dark to see.

The Island Tournament - 21 August 2011
We had five visitors and eleven of our own and five lunch-only guests, making 21 people altogether. That was a rather disappointing turnout, but we did have a lot of fun anyway. Only nineteen in this picture because some left before the end of play.
It was a Melee Competition with the emphasis on fun and because we only had eight teams we were able to give everyone a prize. $$$ for the Petanquers and trophies for the Best Dressed Wahine and Best Dressed Kane

La Pétanque Marinière Inter-Club Tournament..
Six Lamorinda Petanquers went across to La Pétanque Marinière on Sunday 14 August to play in their annual Inter Club Tournament. Follow the link to read up on what happened...
Etienne, Beth and Daniel got through to the Concours but sadly were defeated 13-10 in the first round, so we went home to Lamorinda and played there for the rest of the afternoon. But we did have a lot of fun.
