Also, if you have never been to Bryant Park in New York City, National Public Radio did a nice interview of the local boulistes who frequent the park. Matthew Broderick, as well, recorded a wonderful podcast of pétanque in the park. If you close your eyes, it is easy to feel as though you were there.

FPUSA 2012 Northwest Regional 65 Over/Under Mixed Doubles Tournament
On 15 April 2012, Lamorinda Petanque Club will be hosting the
2012 FPUSA Northwest Regional 65 Over/Under Mixed Doubles Tournament
at 480 St Marys Road in Lafayette.
If you are thinking of participating in this fun new tournament, one player needs to be female and the other male. Also, one player must be over 65 and the other under 65 on the day of the tournament. So, you can have a 70-year-old female and a 15-year old male as a team, for example.
We think that there are enough players of all ages in the area to achieve this 65 over/under mix, so get busy and organize a partner, and come along to this fun new competition.
Click here for the entry form...
For those of you who have never been to the Lamorinda Petanque Club, you will find directions and more elsewhere on this blog.
We need to have your entry form and payment by 12 April, so don't delay, act today!!
