Jingle Bells…it's nearly time for our Christmas Party
Saturday 7 December 6pm
Saturday7 December 6pm Prepare your tastebuds for a delicious Christmas themed spread.
The scrumptious dinner will be provided by the club for members and their partners or plus one. All you have to do is bring along your Christmas good cheer and your favourite tipple.
The evening will include the announcement of the winners of our Club Awards.
Thanks to Rotary Club Balwyn and City of Boroondara for awarding us with a Community Strengthening Grant to help fund this event.
Our Intra Club Tournament will be a friendly, semi formal doubles tournament just for club members. The day will be designed to ensure players at any level will enjoy the game, and we encourage those who have never taken part in formal competitions to participate.
There is no need to find a partner, we will form the doubles teams by partnering less experienced players with a player who has had competition exposure. Competition will be for fun not prizes.
The format will be 4 games Swiss doubles with a lunch break in the middle. Click here for a full outline of the competition format.
This event will replace our normal 3 game Saturday play. Players not wishing to take part, can play informally should be pistes available.
To register (or if you have any questions) you can contact Bob by clicking on the button below. Registrations close on 23 November.
We’ll be presenting awards at the Christmas party to club members who achieve excellence in playing pétanque as well as those who contribute to our thriving, friendly club.

Crazy whist cards night
We had a fun night at the club playing crazy whist. We changed partners every game so there was lots of socialising. Many of us who had no idea how to play cards gave it a go and before you knew we were ”coming up trumps”. Lots of laughter, a little bit of wine and a lovely supper.
Thanks so much to Jenny and Leigh for organising and hosting such a great evening.
Friday cards continue
Come and play cards on the last Friday of every month from 3pm. Have fun, learn how to play - our games masters Leigh, Pam or Deidre are happy to show you how. As usual, pétanque play begins at 5.30pm or you can play cards throughout the evening as you wish. The next session is on Friday 29 November
