Pétanque Returns To Wenvoe
PÉTANQUE RETURNS TO WENVOE
After several years of absence, pétanque is back in Wenvoe. The Vale Pétanque Club, affiliated to the Welsh Pétanque Association, has found its new home at the original pétanque playing area located at Wenvoe Playing Fields, Station Road East.
Our members have been playing in various teams competing in the Welsh Pétanque Association National Leagues and for national titles (men and women, singles, doubles and triples). Members have also represented Wales at international events in the UK (Home Nations and Celtic Challenge) and abroad at the World and European Championships (Juniors and men). We are always looking for the next Welsh champion!
Pétanque is a very easy sport to start and is accessible to children from the age of 6 years, adults of both sexes and disabled persons. Many of you will have played or seen the game while on holiday in France or picked-up boules in a Welsh pub for a friendly game.
At the Vale Pétanque Club, we will offer both sides of the game: the friendly, laid-back social game where the result is second to meeting with friends and spending a couple of hours of light exercise in good company, and the competitive matches where every point is fought for and winning is essential. Sessions for all ages and abilities will be organised and supervised by Welsh Pétanque Association qualified coaches.
We currently have 14 purpose-built and newly refurbished wheelchair accessible pétanque pistes open to members every day of the week and all year round. We are planning to hold some “Come and Try” sessions, the first of which will be 31st May from 1pm to 4pm, with all equipment provided. However, if you are passing through the playing fields and see some of us there, please do ask about the game.
