As an league, we have been approached by a Belgian/French organisation who are planning to be in Ipswich during the weekend of 8th till 10th July 2011 and would like to incorporate into their itinerary a petanque tournament against local players.
We have started initial talks with them regarding the format of the competition and they are happy for us to put up some local opposition against their members, making it an ''international event''. The event itself would be held somewhere around the Ipswich Waterfront.
As we are sure many of you would like to play in this event, we are going to make it an ''invite only'' tournament and therefore give our league ''first-option'' on places. However historically there are a few non-Suffolk Coastal League people that we would also like to invite.
To pre-warn everybody, as there will be costs associated with organising and hosting this event, there will be a 'contribution fee' to be paid by our teams and we would ask you to budget for approximately £15 to £20 per team.
The format has yet to be decided but we are suggesting to our European visitors that doubles would suit us better as thats what we play currently in our Coastal League.
We will need to put together a list of interested persons, so if you would like to be included on the ''mailing list'' for this event, please e-mail the League Co-Ordinator. (Requesting to be on the mailing list does not constitute an invite at this stage).
