Spring News Letter

Cranleigh Petanque Club are now preparing for the forthcoming new season, over the next two months we shall be adding a new topping to our second terrain and installing the lighting to enable us to play in the evenings and take part in our league competitions.

This season begins with an Open Doubles competition on Valentine’s Day, we are hoping for 20 teams from the south to compete over 5 rounds.

This season we have joined the local North Downs 6 aside league. This involves nine games over an evening, one away and one home match every month. The opposing teams come from Oxshott, Crondall, Bordon, Kirdford, Claygate, and Basingstoke. This league was started to get new players involved in playing competitive competitions.
