On January 4th we held our Pétanque Tournament with forty-eight players. The morning started out a little chilly at 45 degrees and a wind chill factor making it feel like 37 degrees. It did warm up to the low 60’s and the sun allowed a few people shed their outer clothing by the time we finished.  During intermission players were served hotdogs, chips, and water.

W-W-W-W First Place Champions (L-R) Marc Nadeau, Jera Meighen, and Bob Bryant.

W-W-W-L Second Place Winners (L-R) Tom Mayer, Barb Duoos, and Rob Maltby.

W-W-L-W Consolation Winners (L-R) Ron Richman, Missy Cullina, and Laurie Williamson.

W-L-W-W Consolation Winners (L-R) Mark Alley, Paula Dascola, and Gary Williamson.

L-W-W-W Consolation Winners (L-R) Dennis Evans, Cathy Porrini, and Tom McNally.

Congrats to all the tournament winners, 50/50 winners and other door prize winners. A special thanks to all the volunteers that continue to make this event possible.

If you’re new to Tanglewood or just never played Pétanque before, come on out and try it.

Winter Schedule: 10:00 am Monday/Thursday/Friday; 1:00 pm Monday-Saturday.

New Player Clinics are available at 12:45 pm every Monday.

We also have equipment for first-time players to try before they buy. Who knows, your name might be among the tournament winners next month.
