Our Pétanque group started last year with a small but loyal following. This year there has been sufficient interest to expand to two groups which meet weekly.
The groups have been arranged so that one meets on a Wednesday afternoon and the other on a Friday morning. This is to try and offer a choice to members who already have a full u3a timetable! The ‘flavour’ of each group is a little different according to its venue.
Wednesday Afternoon Group
This is held at the Odiham & Greywell Cricket Club from 2.00 to 3.30 pm. The playing surface is the car park which has a slope!
Refreshments are included and provided by a member of the OGCC staff in the clubhouse along with a log fire in the winter.
The overall cost of each session is £27 which is shared by the members.
Friday Morning Group
This is held at Bakers Hall, Odiham, between 10.00 —11.30 am.
The hall has a large gravelled area which provides a suitable playing surface. Members open/close the hall themselves, make their own coffee etc., in a small kitchenette before relaxing in a small meeting room (which has heating).
The overall cost of each session is £18, again shared by the members of the group.
Both venues have toilets and parking.
