American Pétanque Exchange

Steve in Virgina has just launched the "American Pétanque Exchange." A "players seeking players" message board. Let's all link to it and make it a useful tool.

The American Petanque Exchange (APE) is an electronic message board whose purpose is to help (new or experienced) petanque players in the USA to find and communicate with each other.

APE is not a club or a meetup.com — it does not hold meetings or sponsor tournaments. It was inspired by the Petanque America message board, which closed in 2005.
