Many people play the game of ‘Boules’ ( more properly called Pétanque ) when on holiday, particularly in France. Some may actually have bought a set of boules and store them away until the next holiday but, at North Down Pétanque Club, you can play all year round.
The Club meets every Tuesday at 2.00pm ( October to March ) and at 7.30pm ( April to September ) at our custom-made terrain (called a ‘piste’ ) at Pickie Bowling Club, in Broadway, Bangor. Players vary in age, gender, ability and interest. Some are content to play at a local level while others have progressed to play at National and International level.
Regardless of ability or ambition, the Club, currently with a membership of 40, is always looking to attract new members. Boules can be provided, initially, and at an annual fee of £25, membership is relatively cheap. If you would like to try the game contact the Hon.Sec. George Davidson at email: georgewdavidson@btinternet.com or phone no. 028 91 815099. The remainder of this website also contains substantial information about the Club and the game, generally.
