LPM Passing - André Sanchou

It is with a heavy heart that LPM recognizes the passing of one of our beloved members. Andre Sanchou passed away a few days ago. We will miss his carefree, jovial character and his sweet, generous nature, yet his memory we carry within us will ensure that he never is truly gone.

Confusion Control

Fellow Pétanque Players,

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the tournament of select triples scheduled for this Sunday. There is NO tournament this weekend. The Inter-club tournament, to have been hosted by the Petaluma Valley Club, has been postponed and the select mixed triples has been moved to AUGUST 9. There is a flyer with more information which is forthcoming.
LPM apologises for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Below please find the most up to date calendar:
