ST HELIERS PETANQUE CLUB

In May 2011, the disused C Green was converted to a petanque piste and a new division of the club was formed.  Power was added, together with a water cooler, to the B green pavilion and renamed "Le Petit Chateau".  Since then, the Petanque members have installed a seating area and sunshade.

The division has flourished with a steady increase in their numbers and they play an important part in the Bowling Club's social calendar.

New Members:
New members always welcome and players can attend as guests to ascertain whether they would like to join.
Two social dinners are held - usually around Bastille Day and Christmas

SOCIAL/CORPORATE EVENTS

We can cater for up to 54 players, or 18 teams of 3, all year round.  We provide boules and tuition and you are assured of a fun time. There is plenty of seating with a large table under a canopy for drinks/food in between games which are tailored to your requirements.  A BBQ can be supplied at no additional cost and although we do not provide caterers, many groups bring finger food or arrange for food to be delivered.   We are part of the St.Heliers Bowling Club which is well stocked with all beverages at excellent prices - unfortunately the Liquor Licence does not allow BYO.

For more information or to arrange your event, please contact Dorothy Keightley, ph. 0274 505 745,or Adrienne Grogan, ph. 575 6617.
