Sunday 25th July – ‘Boules at the ‘Billi’ - Superb! A superb day at the ‘billi with a great crowd of at one stage, 26 people, lots of interest from passersby and plenty of good matches and smiling faces, a few of them new. Also good weather if a bit nippy later on! Apart from a few BA blow-ins from other suburb, most were very much locals. What was particularly great was that the locals banded together and decided that they want to play more than once a month AND they would take responsibility for organizing the events. Great stuff! Whether this takes the form of another set day per month or more spontaneous gatherings is yet top be decided. I will keep you posted!
Our intention is to continue promoting the area and of course the 4th Sunday of the month. The next ‘Boules at the Billi’ is scheduled for the 22nd of August and we are planning a SuperMelee competition. Details soon.
On Sunday we explained the game to the newcomers and then played friendly matches. The weather was kind and a good time was had! Thanks to BA members Sue, Brad, Paul, Jill and Wayne for the help and especially Ken from Newcastle , who popped in and assisted as well.
I look forward to seeing the Kirribilli Piste becoming a thriving and active scene!
IMPORTANT: We want to compile a Kirribilli specific phone contact list. If you are particularly interested in playing at Kirribilli and would like to be contacted for spontaneous gatherings by phone (SMS), please let me know and provide a mobile number. Even if you think I may be aware of your particular interest, please let me know anyway so I have it on record. When we have sorted out the new organizers, I will give them the list.
Balmain Boules We will be looking to hold an afternoon of petanque at Ballast Point Park in the near future and apologise for the late change of plans on the weekend! I will give as much notice as possible so that you Inner-Westerners' can mark it in your diaries.
