Sunny Saturday

Saturday was the hottest day of the year to date. Just right for playing boule and just taking it easy.
We had 14 members turn up plus a couple of guests. We used both pistes and added three more games to our running totals.  Hope to publish the details over the next few days.
After our team played well in the final regional qualifier, we now have entered the Home Nations qualifier, This will be very good experiance for our new team.

Regional Qualifiers at Farmhouse

I am really proud to have taken our team to Farmhouse to play the SCPA qualifiers.
With Sue, Lesley and Tony we played five games and won three. The two we lost were against Dave Stubbs, Richard and Steve Lombard, we took them by surprize at first running up a 8 - 0 lead but class held out and they beat us 13 - 9. Our second loss was against The Blue Army, they played with us and enjoyed a leisurely  romp to 13 - 0.
This gave us a 4 wins total and a minus difference, but we still had to  wait for the final games to see if we had to play in a play off. Sorry to say we missed the cut and ended up 15.
Thanks everyone for a good couple of days boule. I hope you all learnt enought to win next year

Saturday at Cranleigh

This as been quite a week. In total we have had 5 possiblly 6 new members all signed up and ready to go.
It means we have just passed the 30 mark. It looks likely that we will be gaining a few more U3A members as we are in town and they dont have to travel so far.
Also this week we have added a couple of trees alongside our piste, this breaks up expanse of flat ground, we may add a couple more after our French trip.
The new piste is very good, it looks simple but is far from it.
Our team goes into the next round of the regional qualifiers on Sunday, we have a lot to do but will all do our best.

Re Pennock Cup

As ABC are now directing their members to this site, I will add the email I sent to Mike and Paul.
This was after I met Mike at CVSS on Tuesday. He said to me the blog was insensitive and to expect a letter from their Chairman..

Dear Mike,
Thank you for speaking to me today at Cranleigh Village Club, I was very surprised to find that I had upset various members of ABC. I had to wait until I got home to re read my insensitive blog. After re reading my account I find it very hard to understand how people can be so disruptive and troublesome.

I have always totally supported ABC as a club and really enjoy playing socially and in competition at Kirdford. Some members of ABC still see Cranleigh PC as a threat, we are doing our utmost to run the new club for the benefit of all Cranleigh and we are trying not to interfere with ABC in any way.

ABC is our nearest rival in the game of Petanque but we all should be pulling together to improve the game in this area, when I carryout SCPA work at Horsham and at the Cranleigh carnival if people wish to play and live nearer to ABC than Cranleigh I pass them on to your club.

Some of the members at Cranleigh belong to two or three other club, as such all of their triumphs or failures in any competition are truly exploited on our Blog.. A blog for Cranleigh PC open to all but entirely for Cranleigh.

If anyone has problems with the Cranleigh Blog please get in touch with me.

What does upset me is, it is now coming up for two week since the Pennock Cup, The ABC blog is still without a report or pictures that were taken on the day even the EPA do better than this.
