Christine Wilson Pétanque and Picnic in the Park

We meet in Eaton Park on Sunday 17 August, from 11am onwards

This event is in memory of Christine who was a valued member of the Rouen/ Norwich twinning committee and of the Friends of Eaton Park. She instigated the creation of this petanque terrain in the park. The terrain is behind the cafe and next to the tennis courts in the centre of the park.

All you need to bring is yourselves and a picnic. There are a couple of benches but for your own comfort a chair is advisable. If you have your own boules, please bring them but there will be enough to share if you have not. Boules are also available, for a deposit, from the cafe. 

The café does very good food and refreshments if you have not managed to get a picnic together. 

Paid parking is available at the top and bottom of the park and no parking restrictions in a few streets near the park.

Please bring friends and family and it would be great to introduce some youngsters to pétanque and the Rouen Twinning Group. If you are a beginner, an experienced player, or just want to watch and socialise you will be welcome. There is a table tennis table next to the petanque terrain and also a set of Kubb (google it) available for a deposit from the cafe. You may just prefer to sit and chat.

The idea is to have a good time. Come and go as you want. We tend to disperse around 3.00 given good weather. but we can stay as long as we want.

See you there. NO NEED TO INDICATE IF YOU ARE COMING OR NOT.
