3rd Annual Lamorinda Cup Breaking News...

Hello All,

Lafayette is holding their Art and Wine Festival this weekend so that means that Mount Diablo Boulevard will be closed between Dewing Avenue and Oak Hill Road. If you usually use Mt Diablo Blvd to to get to Moraga Road to get to our courts, rather take the Pleasant Hill exit.  Here is a Google map.

In case you didn't know, Hwy 37, from Infineon Raceway to Vallejo is closed this weekend for roadworks, so if you are coming from Sonoma, use the route through American Canyon.

A reminder:

• Coffee and Croissants in the Morning
• Registration closes at 9.00AM
• Play begins at 9.30AM
• Please bring your own Lunch
• Apéritifs will be served after the Tournament

The entry fee is $40.00 per team and you can pay at registration

• Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals for the Concours winners.
• Cash Prizes in the Concours and Consolante. 
• Cash Prizes in the optional Pointing and Shooting Contests at lunchtime - $5.00 entry for each contest.

Tish Harris is collecting clothing for people affected by the huge fire around Bass Lake. This is not an appeal from Tish, but if you just happen to have any clothing that is just taking up space and you'd like to get rid of it, bring it along tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Regards,

Etienne.

Valley of the Moon Pétanque - Bastille Day Celebration

Valley of the Moon Pétanque Club's best-loved event is less than three weeks away- it's time to wave the Tricolor and sing the Marseillaise.  We welcome back Chef Christine Piccin who's prepared an uber-awesome menu and the pitch-perfect "Due Zighi Baci" accordionist and vocalist.

The menu this year feature's a slow-roasted garlic-mustard rubbed Leg of Lamb accompanied by roasted Red Bell Peppers & Fennel,  Summer Vegetable Tian, Fromage et Salade Verte and Apricot Tart w/caramel whipped cream (see attached flyer).  Reservations are required for lunch ($20 per person).  You may reserve online at www.vompc.org or leave word on the hotline at 707 343-9465.

For parties who wish to be guaranteed seating together, payment in advance is required.  Please use the attached form and return it to the address listed no later than July 10th.  This will insure that you sit together, but not necessarily an entire table (unless you are a party of 8 or more).  We have family style seating and you may have to share.  You are welcome to bring your own table and chairs.

We also ask that you bring your own plateware.  The washing station will be available.

The mixed triples tournament is $5 per person.  Registration ends at 10:00 am.  The courts are reserved for tournament players only.  If you wish to play casually, please contact the club prior to the tournament to make arrangements.

It should be another fabulous, festive celebration.  We hope to see you there:))
