All club members will now benefit from a free beer or soft drink (from a limited selection) when they attend to play on a club night (Mondays from 7.30pm), all for just a £2 turn up and play fee.
We're currently getting a die-hard few but many members aren't making it along on Mondays. If people would prefer a different format for the evenings, or have any suggestions on club activities please get in touch.

Well done to the many Warwick players who turned out to support this year's Hereford Open on Sunday, June 29, both for their achievements, and for many in just surviving the day after playing through from 10am until almost 10pm in some cases!!

After a random draw in the morning many Warwick players found themselves in the top 16 for the afternoon's play, including Teresa Bingham, Gary Durrant, Pete Bingham, Jean-Denis Scatena, Patrick Robiquet, Garth Fletcher, Dudley Lewin and Dave Hancox.

Garth, Dudley and Dave made it through to the semi-finals, but it was Patrick, Jean-Denis and team mate Ron Ainsworth who did the club proud making it into the final of the competition, losing out in the end to Abertaff, but a huge achievement after a day of play involving 56 teams of triples.

Praise also to Jack Linstead, Emily Tuff and Edna Lewin, who didn't have the best morning, but went on in the afternoon to win the Greatorex Trophy and a £30 cash prize.

Well done to all the Warwick Petanque Club members who

 travelled to Bury St Edmunds on the Bank Holiday weekend of May 23, 24 and 25, to compete in the EPA Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

The weather wasn't kind on the Sunday and Monday, but it was great to see Warwick members turning out to support the EPA competition and providing a strong representation from the West Midlands region.

Plenty of close games were played, with many players missing out on wins by the throw of a single boule or missed shot, but then that's the joy of pétanque..!

Warwick Petanque Club's monthly quiz at the Warwickians Rugby Club will be taking place this Thursday, May 29, starting at 8pm, at just £1 a head, with a maximum of 6 in a team.

Congratulations to the Warwick team competing in the West Midlands Summer League. The team have so far dropped just two games over two fixtures having won three games to one against both the Solihull Swifts and Whitnash Oats.

The next fixture against the Half Crown Villages on the 28th May.

Three Warwick teams competed in the WM Closed Pairs on Sunday, May 11, with a league system run in the morning, and a knock out in the afternoon. Teresa Bingham and Gary Durrant made it through to the quarter finals of the main competition, while Jack Linstead and Garth Fletcher and Emily Tuff and Pete Bingham both competed in the plate after a close morning's play (which came down to points difference on who played the main and who played the plate).

Both teams made up for their morning's play in the afternoon though winning all games and meeting in the plate final, which was won 13-7 by Pete Bingham and Emily Tuff.

All club members should now be thinking of their triples to compete in the WM Classic, taking place on Sunday, June 15, with a £500 first prize.
