PÉTANQUE
AIKB Members are invited to sample
the game of petanque at the "Club Petanque Rostrenoise”.
The club plays at Ancienne Gare Rostrenen,
Rte Kergrist , 22110 Rostrenen. The club is affiliated to the Federation
Francaise de Petanque et Jeu Provencal and has just under fifty members
of both sexes. The club internal competition is organized on a Wednesday
and Saturday afternoon but also, we have two senior and two veteran teams
who compete in the departmental championships. We currently have three
English speaking members, by coincidence all named Peter, one British and
two Dutch!! We have all been made very welcome to the club and enjoy our
twice weekly free French lesson. The AIKB afternoon will be organised in
the same way as our internal club competition.
Please arrive between 13.30 and 13.45
hours for inscription and an introduction to the rules of the game. The
games last approximately fifty minutes. Three or four games will be played
during the afternoon. The computer will select the teams, two AIKB players
will be accompanied by one club member who will give our visitors a little
guidance. An entry fee of two Euro will be charged which is placed in a
kitty. At the end of the afternoon the kitty will be awarded to the winners,
guests only. Usually about half of the players qualify for a share of the
kitty but it is not a way to get rich!!! The tradition is that after each
game the winning team buys a drink for the losers, a chance to chat and
make new friends. You will spend about five Euro during a typical afternoon.
No special equipment or clothing is required for the afternoon, I would
suggest comfortable shoes and trousers/slacks. Boules will be provided
but if you have your own please bring them. Should the weather be wet we
have an indoor facility but the meeting point will be at the clubhouse.
Please reserve and pay 3€ per
person in advance to AIKB, then pay 2€ to the club on the day. Rdv
