I think it was Craig Harris from ELPC that summed up the weekend best, when he referred to it as a Festival of Boules.

Some NPC ladies traveled to Perth, for a coaching session on shooting. A mix of theory and practice, it increased everyone’s knowledge, and confidence.

Alex, Liz, June and Andy headed off to Jersey, to compete in this year’s Home Nations Petanque competition, representing Scotland for the second time.

Several NPC teams made the long journey to Macduff, on the Murray coast, for the SPA Triples competitions. An interesting piste to say the least - felt more like golf, with all those undulations!

NPC went down to Moffat to compete in the EuroCup qualifier. The top four teams from the Cup For Clubs competition earlier in the year were taking part, and the winners would represent Scotland in the EuroCup competition in France!

A number of our members have made the long trip up to Fochabers, in Moray, near Elgin, for their club event.

A big thank you to all the members of the public who turned out to compete in our Gala Week competition.

Congratulations to Steve H and June R, who both narrowly missed out on the medal positions in the SPA Men’s and Women’s Singles Competitions, which took place at Inverleith Petanque Club in Edinburgh.

Triple H do the double and win the Club Triples competition! This time the team line-up was Sandy H, Steven H & Tony W.

Congratulations to the winners of the Winter League, Triple H (Sandy H, Steve H, Ian H) who came away with the trophy.
