May 2012 - . .

Try Pétanque --- Taster Sessions

• During July - Weds Evenings and Sat Mornings.
• Come and have a bit of fun and try something new. By yourself or bring the family.
• 
  Call 01329 843 295 or email address below to fix a time
  (so we can make sure there's someone available to help you). Club members will explain the game, show you how its done and let you have a go.

• A planning application to redevelop our base (The Limes), and the adjoining site, was submitted in June 2011. The plans could have made us homeless sometime in early 2012. However the application was comprehensively rejected.
  
• We believe a new application is being worked on. If it does go in, and is successful, and the finances are sorted, etc., then it will still be many months before work starts.
  
  
• So Limesdowne Pétanque Club looks forward to a succesful 2012 season at The Limes.
  
  
• The Limes plans to hold a Queen's Jubilee Charity BBQ with Real Ale Weekend on 2nd June - by a stroke of good fortune this coincides with a Limesdowne club competition....
  
  
• Also the Admiral Cunningham Pétanque Club will make use of our terrains in 2012 for their league matches and club events.
• Plus Shedfield Pétanque Club are temporarily using our terrains pending their new site. They have a Mêlée on Friday evenings which is open to other clubs.

The Limesdowne Pétanque Club

25 Years Old in 2009

Pétanque (Boule) at Catisfield

The Limesdowne Club has two pétanque terrains for playing boule, with floodlights. Each has different surfaces to add interest.
It is located at the rear of The Limes (public house), at Catisfield Lane, Catisfield PO15 5NN, on the western edge of Fareham in Southern Hampshire, England.

Pétanque: Many people have seen the French playing Boule when on holiday. It's actually a sport played in many countries world-wide and it's very easy to pick up.

It is enjoyable even if you are a new player playing with (relative) experts. An ideal sport for all the family - all ages from 8 - 80+ can play together.
(if you can't bend down to pick up the Boule - just put a magnet on a piece of string!).

Play: 'Club Night' is every Wednesday night, from about 7:30, for casual play for fun.

Even in winter .......      ;-)

New players are welcome. Come along and have a go

Members play just for fresh air, exercise and enjoyment, or can represent the Club in its teams.

The Club runs several teams in the Southern Counties regional 6-a-side and 9-a-side Leagues, runs various events mostly at weekends, and takes part in events at other clubs too.

Limesdowne prides itself on being a very friendly club, welcoming to new players and with lots of cameraderie amongst members.

There is often a match on a Tues or Thurs evening - you are welcome to come along and watch
