Harrogate Montpellier Pétanque Club

The last melee of the season will take place on Sunday 30th September starting at 11.30 am. We propose an open picnic (please supply your own drinks) and we are playing for the melee cup. This is only open to club members. Weather permitting of course. Hope to see you all there!

The inaugural West Yorkshire Cup Final was held on 10 August. After a 3-2 win against Huddersfield, Harrogate came up against Leeds Petanque Club in the final, held at Heckmondwike.

After a close match, Leeds came out on top with a 3-2 win.

Congratulations to Leeds Petanque Club, winners of the 2018 HIT.

I can also share some photos from our free days in the spectacular Pyrenees.

Thanks to Nigel for organising a fantastic trip to Harrogate’s twin town. We were made to feel very welcome by Luchon’s Petanque Club and we very much enjoyed the experience of playing at the home of petanque.

We had 2 days of petanque competion with amazing 3 hour lunches. I’m not sure whether the Ricard, wine and whisky improved our games, but some people received trophies at the end!

Here are a few photos from the 2 petanque days.

Ahead of our trip to Luchon, we experienced some French weather on Thursday evening’s session, with the temperature around 25 degrees – formidable!
