Welcome to the
first New Zealand Petanque
Association Newsletter
We are a week
away from becoming an
incorporated society. This is an
important step in the games
development as it enables us to
do several things:
-
The details of
the NZPA and a list of its
member will be sent to France
and we will become registered
with the International Petanque
Association. This will enable us
to use their resources and
contacts to help the game here.
-
The Society will
also be an administrative body
to provide help and support for
any of our members to start a
club in their region, or for
anyone who has queries about the
game.
-
We can now hold a
national competition (the NZPA
National Competition). This will
probably be held some time in
November, although a date is yet
to be confirmed.
-
The game now has
an official body which can
ensure continued development and
interest in the game.
Events
-
The Devonport
Competition is on 1 May. The
entries are limited, so be in
quickly and ring Chris at the
Atomic Cafe. This is a Sunday
and will start about 9pm.
-
For those of you
who don’t have glow in the dark
boule, the shorter days can be a
bit frustrating for late
afternoon Petanque. However,
Chris has come to the rescue by
putting spotlights out the back
of the Atomic Cafe and widening
his pitch. Play starts Thursday
from 4pm
-
If you have any
news, queries, etc., please ring
me (Keith). If any of the home
or address details are wrong,
please ring.
