1st Anniversary afternoon

Saturday was the first anniversary of our clubs first meeting.

The day started wet and overcast but soon warmed up and the sun came out.

During the morning we put up the bunting and the tent. After setting out the chairs and arranging the glasses and the plates we all went off to lunch at the club.

We started playing at 2pm, our guests from ABC Kirdford where enjoying the new piste and trying to get the hang of the old.

At 3pm our youngest club member present cut the cake, Lesley and Jan poured the wine and we all sang happy birthday to the club.

Unfortunatly our french guest did not appear until after the cake and wine.

Eventually 14 members of the twinning group came and played, it was fun teaching our french guest how to play petanque. During the afternoon Gene from Semur told us she had been asked by the Semur boule club to approach us and find out whether we would be prepared to visit Semur for a weekends petanque and would we be willing to arrange for them to visit us.  After our meeting she is going back to arrange both our visit to them and their visit to us.
