I've returned from my travels to Camber Sands. Can you believe that we spent the whole afternoon on the beach yesterday (check out my photos in meets gallery). Thanks for all your replies on this post whilst I've been away and to Clianthus for overlooking the posts .
First 12 adult entries to qualify for a free glass of wine are:-
1. Fiach (irishrver)
2. Olive (irishrver)
3. Dave (DABurleigh)
4. Stew (artona)
5. Wendy (ambegayo)
6. Lisa (lys520)
7. Loddy
8. Loddy's Partner with no name
9. Greenie (greenasthegrass)
10. Andrew (greenasthegrass)
11. Brian (ambegayo)
12. Brian (Brimal)
Other competitors Mal (Brimal), Spacerunner, Angie (An99uk), and ohh ... myself (Ladyrunner)
I haven't got a clue about how much space we are likely to have for our tournament, but I am guessing that it will probably be held between the motorhomes? It's my first rally so not sure what to expect.
Come on Angie as if we are likely to know, we aren't French , and they aren't going to tell us a secret like that, we might beat them!!
I reckon it's the same as Crown Green Bowls, the nearest to the little ball wins. It's just that the French can't be bothered to keep the green mowed, so just play on a bit of dirt
Shall we mods put a trophy up for this We could call it The Mod's load of Boules Cup
Stew - have you got the winners trophy sorted out yet??

As ladyrunner is going to provide wine for the first 12 taking part, perhaps someone would like to donate a booby prize
Is anyone going to donate a booby prize for our tournament??? It should be called the MHF Fanny Trophy
"(To fanny ("mettre fanny" in French) To beat one's opponents 13 to 0. The figure of a bare-bottomed lass named Fanny is ubiquitous in Provence wherever pétanque is played. It is traditional that when a player loses 13 to 0 it is said that “il est fanny” (he's fanny) or “il a fait fanny” (he made fanny), and that he has to kiss the bottom of a girl called Fanny".
The Rules
At the stage I haven't designed the rules. And not sure yet if it is going to be singles or doubles. But the rules will be printed up and handed out on the night before the tournament commences.
Are we all starting to get competitive already ? I'd better brush the dust off mine and take them out to the garden for some practise!
I'm just in the process of writing the rules for the boules tournament.
I need to know if we have any volunteers for prizes for the 1st team of pairs. And if anyone fancies making a MHF's Fanny Trophy before tomorrow night for the team with the lowest score during the competition.
