Scottish Petanque coach Malcolm McKenzie will be visiting us on Saturday 3rd June, for some coaching which will begin after 1pm.

REMINDER: Don’t forget to get your notes of interest in by Friday 5th May @ 17:00, if you wish to be considered as part of the team for the above competition.

Congratulations to the 2 NPC teams who made it into the top 8 teams for the Home Nations competition. They will represent Scotland in the main competition at Whitnash Petanque club, Leamington Spa in August this year.

SPA ‘Introduction to Competition’ course Schedule confirmed for: Sunday 14th May, 10.30am - 3.30pm. The course will be aimed at members who haven’t played in National-level competitions before, so that they can become familiar with what is expected, and can ask questions, etc.

Alex H has reclaimed the top spot on the Singles Ladder, beating Kaye S 13 to 9. Steve H also enters the top 3, after beating Tom R 13 to 7.

A reminder to members, that membership fees for 2023 (£20) are due by 28/02/2023. If you have not yet paid, then details can be found in the NPC WhatsApp group.

The first batch of membership cards have been printed off, for those who have paid their 2023 membership fee. Hope to be able to distribute them on Sunday.

Steve H is asking for names for the Club Triples League. Entry fee of £2 per player - this will go towards a winners trophy.

We have a new leader of the ladder, in the form of Kaye S. She challenged and won against top-of-the-tree Tommy R.

It had to happen eventually. Alex H has been knocked off the top of the Singles Ladder by Tommy R. Tommy was in 2nd place, but winning a super-challenge from Mary T means that he climbs one place, into 1st place.

Well the triples league has finally finished! The last match saw The Panthers pip The Belles 9 - 8, to finish fourth, with The Belles staying bottom of the table.

Well, the winners of the triples league have been confirmed as GAS - congratulations to Stevie, Sandy and Gary. Meanwhile, second place is still up for grabs, with 3 teams able to secure it (mathematically speaking).
