Wednesday night brought a great turnout for a lovely, balmy evening of pétanque. We were fortunate to have Steve cooking for us, with help from his assistant Michael and additional input from Jacques and Marty. On offer was a "Hawaiian burger" with cheese, pineapple, and coleslaw, served with either a teriyaki or peanut satay sauce. Thanks go to the boys, the bar staff, and the kitchen hands for cleaning up.
On another note, even if it is a bit late, here is the report for the Saturday competition for October: It was pleasing to see so many people turning out. We actually had 29 people playing for a pot of $58.00. Three players scored 26 points—Heike, Van, and Melissa. Van was the only one without a handicap, which made him our winner for the day. Congratulations, Van!
Our next Saturday competition is on the 21st of November—see you there!

Sunday’s State Doubles event at Club de Pétanque d’Adelaide was a fantastic success, with strong participation across both the Open and Women’s divisions. The Women’s division was particularly well supported, with 13 teams taking part for the first time in several years. Special thanks to Tina Stockley for championing and supporting this division.
All teams played four timed games before lunch, after which they were graded into the Principal, Convivial, Consulante and Knockout divisions.
In the Open division, Van and Ned (ESP and Novar Gardens) were the winners, with Nathan and Awed (ESP) finishing as runners-up. Roland (Novar Gardens) and Bruce (Adelaide Hills) won the Consulante division, while Deb and Ralf (Adelaide Hills) won the Knockout division over Richard V and David J (PPC).
In the Women’s division, Deb and Anna (ESP) were the winners, with Rada and Tina (APC) finishing as runners-up. Heike and Yvonne (PPC), and Rae and Sue (FAB), were equal third, while Dee and Sandy (ESP) won the Convivial division.
Congratulations to all players for their participation and achievements, and thank you to all organisers, officials and volunteers whose efforts supported the day. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this event such a success.

Many thanks to David Jones, Richard Voskamp, Gavin Scott and Michael Frodyma for the many hours they have spent on the new Scoring Posts which you can see on Pistes 1 - 10.
David put the idea to the Committee when someone mentioned to him that it was difficult for some people to see the score during a game and he was given permission to "get some information together" for the Committee's consideration. That was well over 12 months ago and David has persevered through design, selection of materials, purchase of materials, production of the posts, the methodology of installing them and finally the installation.
He has been assisted during the installation by Richard V, Gavin and Michael and they say they have a routine now and it only takes about 30 minutes per post for the installation!! That includes digging a 400mm hole, filling it with cement, putting the post into the cement, disposing of the soil from the hole and finishing it all off with thick rubber to protect the posts against boule damage.
Just another 10 posts to go fellows and you will be finished!! Many thanks to all of you.

We had another great Wednesday night of Pétanque, although being the chef on the night limited my playing ability but preparing our evening meal with the help of my team, was a breeze, We had Beef and Chicken Shasliks either honey soy, or BBQ, served with Salad , homemade peanut sauce and sour dough bread.
It went down a treat with members.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday for the Saturday competition staring at the Summer Time of 3.00pm. Registration commences at 2.55 .
We have 9 people with a 1 point handicap, will you join them and win the pot of cash on Saturday.
