Penicuik Pentque Club

I heard through a neighbour that there is a proposed Pentaque Club in Penicuik. Ayone in the know?

Wharra load o' auld boules.

Actually, if you hear any more, and as long as no one takes it too seriously, please tell us about it.

When the weather allows, we often have a game here in the garden - but it just isn't the same as playing on a proper wee pitch. I'd certainly be interested.

Thanks rubber eye, aparently there is a website in the making but I am floundering trying to find it, seems Penicuik has a petanque team as it is mentioned on other sites.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Yes, that's sound typical. I move to France and within three months somebody in Penicuik starts a Pétanque Club. Sheeesh!

Update on Pentanque scene, the man behind it, Colin, is planning an open day in the Spring. Hoping to scout for talent to engage in an event in August Vs a team from L'isle sur La Sorgue.

Hi folks

I came across this forum by accident to find a discussion about Penicuik Petanque Club. I am the one trying to get this off the ground. At present I have heard of quite a few people interested in joining. The idea this club will be for anyone, social players, competition players etc. I will be in the bar at the Navaar House Hotel at 3 p.m. on Sunday 23rd January if you would like to come along and meet me and others who might be interested. Or you can email me at info@penicuikpetanque.org.uk for more info.

Website is at this link - the previous link is broken due to some changes I had to make to the site. There's a Facebook page too and if you use Twitter you can follow @penipetanque

The plan is to have an Open Day in April, and hopefully arrange a competition to coincide with the Twinning visit in August.

Cheers
