KENT PETANQUE ASSOCIATION
ISSUE No.71 MAY 2012
The DUKE OF
WELLINGTON P.H.
RYARSH.
If there is a long
term future for
Petanque in the UK, it
will come from the
encouragement of
youngsters and events
similar to that held on
Saturday 12th May.
The D.O.W. Petanque Club has been successful over the past year or so in encouraging
youngsters to play Petanque at regular weekly meetings. From this background, long time
Petanque player and member of the D.O.W. Club, KEN PINDER, organised a competition
for doubles teams, each team comprising one junior plus one adult. What a great and successful
event. Well supported, including some adult members of the Club giving a hand,
and manning a tea and cake stall. With nice weather, excellent village pub, the event had
an atmosphere of a friendly community small village fete continued
Page 1

The pub has a good selection of beers and a
very good restaurant, and is located in an ideal
walking area of Kent…..many walkers arrange
walks that finish at lunchtime or in the evening
for a very good meal at the pub. Jonathan, the
landlord is a Petaque player and offers a warm
welcome to the bars, and restaurant.
KEN PINDER provides the following report of
the Junior/Adult Doubles Competition….
On the best day for weeks nine teams contested
this inaugural KPA Junior (playing with an Adult ) Doubles, at the Duke of Wellington PC,
Ryarsh. The DOWPC started a Junior Section in 2011 under the guidance of Ken Pinder,
KenSays "It has been a long term Club ambition to start a Junior Section andthe ideal opportunity
arose when the Local boys football team spent time after matches playing in the garden
of the Duke of Welly. I approached one of the Mums, Lucia Amato, would the boys like to try
Petanque. We had a come and try session and boys introduced sisters and then the parents
got involved and we now have eight Juniors and four new Adult members. KPA Head Coach,
Eric hatfield, attended a Saturday morning training session and suggested that Junior size
boules would be better. I approached the KPA and
the Junior Boules Loan Scheme was adopted. DOW Juniors have their own boules on free
loan, all the while they are members of the KPA.
"The level of skill shown by all the Juniors was quite amazing considering their ages range
from six to 11 years of age. Pointing and shooting and backing their Adults. Ken Says" A huge
spin off is that Dads/Mums/Granddads were playing with the kids in teams, probably unique in
competitive sport.
It was a fun day the wine flowed, afternoon tea was served and a super raffle brought much
needed finance to the Club. A favourite training session, called 'Happy Hour Petanque' is on a
Friday night from 5 to 7pm. Kids can let off steam play Petanque whilst parents can relax, have
a drink wind down after a hard week.
The next Junior event at the Duke will be a come and try session/tournament involving local
boys football teams, watch this space.
THE TEAMS FOR THE DAY...Back Row Stewart Speake, Adam Robinson, Steve Lamb, Mick Nash, Keith Atkinson,

There were a few reliable KPA members, and DOWPC members
who turned up to help and play, and to make for a successful
day….plus the ever reliable ANNETTE EGGLETON who gave up her time to run the competition.
The event was also given help from the K.P.A.
The day ended with a meal and a few drinks…...and an impromptu game of football for the
juniors in the pub garden…….final score unknown !
As applicable to Petanque has ben revised. Should you feel the
need for some understanding go to the EPA web-site and click
on insurance and low and behold you will find two NEW documents
“INSURANCE EXPLAINED” and “ADDITIONAL INFORMATION”…...thanks to

ANY OLD NEWS
1. Issue August 1996... the “new” B.P.A. Credit Card was launched in conjunction with MBNA
International and VISA. With an introductory charge of 13.9% APR for the first 6 months, rising
to the “normal” rate of 18.9%. Some KPA members enrolled at the time….and still hold the British
Petanque Association credit card….MBNA have not yet had the time to replace the computer
login emblem of a “skier” on the piste, with a petanque player on the piste. Banker bashers will
come to their own judgement as to the best deal for interest….1996 at 18.9% or 2012 at 16.9%
APR ?
The BPA was awarded £10 for each new standard account and £20 for each new Gold account
plus...a further £3 for every year the account remains in use, and 0.15% of the value of any purchases
made on the card.
2. Issue August 1996... the following Kent Clubs first registered with the BPA...Bat & Ball PC—
Herne Bay PC—Old Sheaf PC—Sherwood Oak PC—Vale PC—Walnuts PC— and a few others
that are no longer operating.
3…Issue November 1996... reported on the BPA Inter Regional Championships held at Sandown
Holiday Centre Isle of Wight, South East Region (Kent) came 4th and East Midlands came top.
4...Issue November 1996…letter .competition “ organisers of the SNAKE beware, it can hypnotise
you with it’s simplicity and leave you playing by yourself” ….(Phil Boarder)
5…Issue November 1996 ”a team of 14 petanque players from the French naval vessel
L’Audacieuse found themselves in stormy waters when they were beaten 9 matches to 5 by

Thanks…..MICK NASH provided old copies of the PETANQUE NEWS
Kent players will wish a speedy return to health for two popular
and well known Kent players ,
JOHN MIDDLETON of Tovil P.C. who suffered two heart attacks whilst visiting and playing
petanque on the Isle of Jersey. John spent a short time in hospital in Jersey but has
now returned home.
DICK DEAMER one time landlord, with his wife JAN, of the Crown Pub at Seal, the original
home of Seal P.C. latterly leaving the pub and continuing their petanque with Hartley
Country Club P.C. Dick is at present undergoing treatment.
From KPA members……..get well soon, JOHN & DICK.
This is the Kent Petanque
Association SHOOTING
CHAMPION for YEAR 2012.
This is BEN THOMPSON playing for Tovil P.C.
The KPA Shooting Competition was held at
Tovil Workingmen’s Club on Friday 18th May
with fourteen Kent players taking part.
NEIL PHILLIPS , also of Tovil P.C. came second.
BEN THOMPSON is a Kent Junior and
has only been playing for a relatively short period
of time. This competition was resurrected
by suggestions from the Tovil club, and was
encouraged by Faye and Steve Golder with
some help from the KPA. Trevor and
Ruth Glenn and Becci manned the bar-b-que.
KPA GAZETTE Page 4

Petanque relies heavily on the goodwill of others to provide ground space, lighting, edging
and piste surface, either fully funded by the benefactor , or part funded, with the
Petanque Club providing some funds and manpower. However this flow of assistance is not
always one way. The above snaps were taken on the night of Wednesday 9th May when 6
matches were played as part of the KPA Summer League Knockout Cup, at Hartley Country
Club. Hartley enter eight teams into the KPA Summer Leagues, and Cup, and on this
particular night there were 6 of their teams playing at home. Six matches, 6 x 12 = 72
players plus a few supporters means 80 odd customers using the Club bar after the
matches, plus the income made from the cost of the supper for the players. A not too
small cash sum for a pub or club on a wet and grey Wednesday night in these “hard times”
when many pubs are closing due to the lack of custom.
Over the past few years, trade has increased at the “White House” , “Duke of Wellington”,
Tovil, Meadow , and Lordswood Clubs etc. due partly to the number of members of
the Petanque Clubs. It is not an easy time for Clubs and pubs to turn in a profit, and some
are introducing activities that attract trade…...witness a Wednesday night at Tovil where
there could be three or four Petanque Matches taking place outside, plus a very serious
well supported darts match inside the Club house.
Support and use your Pub and Club…..you know it makes sense !
The first Qualifying Rounds were held on 29th April at Nottingham and Exeter. The Kent
teams who qualified and go forward to the next round are……
LADIES….Team CORRINE COOTER, JENIFER COOTER and TRACY TURNER
Team FAYE GOLDER, SHEILA KING, MICHELLE CREGEEN and M.ELDRIDGE
MEN’S……..Team KEVIN SPILLET, ROWLAND JONES, and GREG DAVENPORT
Team SCOTT ASHBY, NIC BAXTER and GARY ATKINSON
( DEAN ASHBY is also a member of a team that qualified)
Not all was well with these qualifiers…..and there is little to be gained in complaint coupled
with the wisdom of hindsight. However there are lessons to be learned…….
……”maybe” when the competition “organiser” explains the “rules-for-the-day” prior to the
games being started, and the players accept these rules, then these “rules-for-the-day”
should not be changed half way through the day, and competition !
……”maybe” competition “organisers” should be fully appreciative of distance travelled by
players and costs incurred for accommodation and food , and weather on the day...when
establishing “rules-for-the-day”.
…..Clubs, can be asked to “host” County and National competitions, it is therefore beholding
upon the County and National organisers to appreciate the commitment and arrangements
and possible costs made by the “host” Club, prior to any competition cancellation.

The 16th annual
FESTIVAL De
PETANQUE for the
over 50’s took place in
Blanes on the Costa
Brava during the week of 23rd to27th April.
Strange as it may seem…..no Spanish players….all
French with a sprinkling of Brits and ex
-pats. The Festival of Petanque is organised by
three French players who arrange two festivals
in the Spring and two festivals in early Autumn,
one competition for open entry, and the other
for the over “50’s”, all four events held in
Blanes. All big money competitions.
The 16th Festival for the over 50’s was preregistered
entry with 64 Triples teams in one
competition, running alongside a Ladies Doubles
competition with 43 teams….a total of 235 players.
The Triples competition was organised into
8 leagues of 8, followed by a knock-out….and
the Ladies doubles competition was organised
into 5 leagues of seven plus 1 league of eight,
followed by a knock-out competition.
Teams from several clubs over the wide range
of southern France are attracted to this cont.

Festival, and for several
years NORMA
PARKWAY has organised
a small group
of ex-pats and players
from Kent to
take part. Players
stay the week in a
very good hotel inclusive
of food, wine
at the table and
evening entertainment,
with a lively
contribution from
the Petanque guests.
The ideal venue and playing
area….a large compacted
sandy and bumpy lorry car
park in the centre of Blanes.
The team of RHONA EWEN…(ex
Leatherhead) and BABS CARR (Kent)
also pleased to receive their prize money.
The total prize money for the Triples Competition was 12755euros, with a top first prize
of 1525euros plus an enormous trophy…..prize money was spread from the top down to
team placed 32nd with prize money of 180euros. The total prize money for the Ladies
Doubles Competition was 4230euros, with a top prize of 500euros and an enormous trophy...prize
money was spread from the top down to 16th place with prize money of 150euros.
The playing standard of the men was high….maybe a reflection of the prize money.
The competitions were extremely well organised, without fuss and aggravation, tinged
with the typically French “loose” rules compliance. The speedy progress was helped with
“timed” games (of sorts), dead string lines, and only one chance to throw the cochenet,
after which the opposition “placed” the cochenet where they wanted it. Boule and
cochenet were not “marked” , but automatically replaced to their original position should
the occasion arise. Games were played in the true spirit of Petanque !

Sunday April 29th at
the E.P.A. MENS and
LADIES Triples First
Qualifier, held at the
NOTTINGHAM CITY
P.C.
A day to be remembered
for probably the
worst ever weather
conditions for a
Petanque Competition.
The play started at
9:30 and the final game
ended at 6pm. The
weather started , bad,
and varied throughout the day from bad to very bad….continuous medium to heavy rain,
continuous gusting winds, with a temperature that felt to be just above freezing. These
appalling conditions helped to produce some unpredictable individual match results. There
were suggestions from some players that the Competition should have been cancelled on
the Saturday…..easier said than done….with players travelling as far as the extreme distances
of Dover in one direction and York in the other, and most players booked into local
accommodation for the Saturday night…..not to mention a suitable re-arranged date
should the Competition have been cancelled. Apart from the weather !
Nottingham City P.C. have by and large a very good venue, and “large” it is….laid out for
this competition with 27 pistes, 4mtrs wide x
15mtrs long with a 1mtr wide roll off area all
round the extremes. With string adjustments
A ladies team from Kent, almost recognisable…and a Kent man’s team equally nearly recognisable !
KPA GAZETTE Page 8

a total of 36 pistes can be catered for, of sizes 3mtr wide x 15mtr long. The venue, apart
from the petanque terrain also includes grass and clay tennis courts and a gym machine
play area, all on a very large site originally part of Nottingham Hospital, the site runs between
the hospital and a main road. Nottingham Hospital is huge….coming to the incorrect
conclusion that there must be a lot of sick and ill people in Nottingham !
Understand that the petanque facility and other sports facility on the site have been
funded by the local council….not sure if the BPA/EPA gave some advice !
The whole of the site is surrounded by 10ft high tennis court type fencing which offers
some sort of protection from vandals and incontinent dogs, cats and foxes. Parking on the
site is very limited, local roads seem to be the answer….and there is a very good pub “of
character” opposite the site entrance gate.
At one end of the site, 100yds from the petanque pistes is a small building with toilets
and changing rooms, and a small office for managing events.
Nottingham City P.C. has been in being for under two years and already has around 40
members, BRIAN FORBES is the President. Club games are on Tuesday evenings and Sunday
mornings…..beginners more than welcome…...local league matches take place on Thursday
evenings.
For visiting teams and players there are plenty of accommodation possibilities in and
around Nottingham to suit
all tastes and pockets.
Like the vast majority of
petaque venues…..reasonable
fixed coverings
and shelters against
severe weather are few,
including at Nottingham,
however Nottingham Club
members had erected a
small marquee at the side
of the pistes which proved
to be valuable .
The Club members also provided
hot drinks and snacks
from within the marquee all
day, their efforts were
greatly appreciated by the
The morning shift….three Nottingham City P.C. ladies who gave
up their time to make tea and coffee in the not so warm
marquee...CAROL THORPE, DOREEN PEEL and
CHRISTINE CARNILL
visiting players. A new idea on the catering front first seen at Nottingham, and could be
followed by Kent Clubs …..early...and mid morning fresh toast with butter and marmalade….the
smell of the toast cooking in the cold morning air is almost as good as the smell
of the traditional “bacon-sandwich”.
Thanks also go to ADRIAN THOMAS, representing the E.P.A. and organising the competition.

At HARTLEY COUNTRY CLUB P.C. on
Monday 7th May. No need to report upon
the weather ! …..30 teams played in this
competition representing Clubs across
Kent and South London. All the entry
fees were handed back as prize money, a
total of £300, in all with a top prize of
£100 in the Main Competition and top
prize of £50 in the Plate Competition.
The competitions were run on a league
basis until the semi-finalists and finalists
were played as a knockout, giving all
teams at least 5 games for the day. A
wide range of playing standards, and good
to see that Ursula and Ron Feltham have
started taking playing a bit more serious
by playing in Sunday competitions, and
they have also moved to join The George
P.C. at Meopham.
JOHN & LOIS ADAM provided the early
morning bar-b-que and bacon sandwiches,
whilst most of the players used the Club
bar at lunchtime for meal and a drink or
two. The day’s competition was organised
by MICK NASH and COLIN SENNECK.
WINNERS OF THE MAIN COMPETITION TAKING
HOME THE TOP CASH PRICE WERE

The day finished just before 7 pm.
At a recent overnight stay for a Petanque
Competition...standing in the queue at the
hotel reception...behind a scabby dog.
“What is this dog doing at the reception”
? was the question. “We are a dog
friendly hotel” came the reply. “How will I
know if a dog has been in my allocated
room” ? Was the second question. ?
“You will know alright ” Came the reply.
Jean Paul and his family of pets beg for spare euros
for their supper booked at a table for three
at a 6 *Michelin restaurant in Lyon to celebrate
the election of the much taller and left leaning
president. Mr. Hollande, is a well known pet and
animal lover with a particular liking for veal cutlets,
foie gras, and the lower limbs of frogs.
Mr.Hollande is not for austerity but is “going for
growth” ….. something that the ex-president could
have hoped for.
