New venue For those of you who have not yet been to our new shared home here are the details. The Jets Club is on Holbeach Ave , Tempe , off the Princes Highway . There is plenty of parking and Tempe station is about 10 minutes walk. I assume there are also plenty of buses! The Jets Club is home of the Newtown Jets, the legendary rugby league team also known as the ‘Bluebags’. The club has an excellent value bistro, ATM, TAB and pokies!
New pistes in Maroubra The Latham Park Boulodrome in Maroubra is a fantastic spot with big shady gum trees with an interesting surface, it is on a bus route (the 316/317 from Bondi Junction) and there is plenty of parking. It is minutes from the French School and in the heart of the local French Community. It is a public park but South Coogee Bowling club is next door where we can use the facilities but of course we must also join the club and do the right thing and go for a few bevies (Alright then, if you are twisting my arm!). The advantage is that not being attached to a club there is no financial pressure to turn up and generate income but we have a club close by. The address is LathamPark, cnr Moverly and Newling Roads Maroubra.
We are on a 6 months trial so that the council can gauge the reaction of the neighbours but if all goes well this will be extended and the council will do some extra work on the surface which is a bit 'au naturel' at the moment. The council is doing a tidy up soon and hopefully will be putting in some park benches. The Latham Park Boulodrome is very similar to a local ground in France and I hope to engage the local community so that whether people choose to join us or not, the place will be used. Needless to say I hope to get the French School involved in petanque!
