2005 Recap of Events & Activities

Green Hill Park in Worcester:  the core group of Le Mistral Club players showed weekly why petanque is so enjoyable for all of us.

Tournaments: Pete, Mark and Brian competed in the N.E. Regional Triplette in NYC and advanced before being eliminated by the eventual champions. Pete and his wife Trish, Mark and Brian also played in the Regional Doublet the same weekend.  Our Le Mistral Club tournament was postponed twice due to rain and eventually was called off.  Look for an expanded number of tournaments in 2006.

Boston area petanque: 2005 saw the establishment of a terrain in Boston. Initially, a small group of players met regularly on Thursday nights under the lights at Hayes Park, at corner of Warren & W. Canton Streets, in Boston's historic South End, for a few friendly games. Over time, the turnout increased with regular visits by Nate, Patrick, Marty, Chris, Laura, JP, Emily, Virginie, Brian, Pete and Trish plus several guest visits from passing players from elsewhere in the US and abroad.  It was a promising beginning to a great new addition to the Mistral Club.  In 2006, we will expand the Boston area locations & opportunities to play petanque - so stay tuned for more info!
