Our event will take place in the main courtyard near to the Visitors Centre and will be a TEAM EVENT with teams of 4 players (ONLY) being invited to take part. You can play as part of your normal league team or you can join forces with other players to form a foursome.

Make Cheques Payable To .......

Can you all remember that when entering competitions and events DIRECTLY organised by the League Co-Ordinator on behalf of the league, that you make registration cheques payable to ''Suffolk Coastal Petanque Alliance'' and not the League Co-Ordinator himself.

Have recently had some cheques rejected by the League's Bank as they were made out incorrectly.

Results from our 4th annual European Trip - Monday 1st May to 4th May 2015

An eventful League trip to Belgium and Holland over the weekend, saw our League up against strong opposition every day versus our respective hosts.

A mixture of matches outdoors and indoors on a variety of surfaces tested the abilities of our group and highlighted where areas of continual improvement is required.

Formal invitations were given to each host club for them to hopefully visit us in the 2016 season and indications are very good that one, if not two teams will actually be in our area next year. Equally we were invited back to play our Belgian and Dutch friends on our own 2016 trip.

La Petanque Montoise (Mons, Belgium)  23 wins    Adnams Coastal Petanque League  4 wins
(First two rounds outside, final round inside)
