Our Sponsors

Gourmet food prizes for our events are generously donated by our sponsor, Fine French Food (G J Foods). Club members also receive a 10% discount on all products. Their origins in French food date back to Paris in the 1920’s, where their great grandmother, owned and ran a petit bistro with her daughter in the Belleville neighbourhood of Paris. Other family restaurants followed even after family members settled in Australia. So, the fine food tradition was passed on to a fourth generation in 2012, when Georges’ eldest son, René joined G J Food, making it over 90 years in fine food.

Orders can be made online with most areas of Sydney qualifying for free delivery. Please consider purchasing your French food at Fine French Food https://www.finefrenchfood.com.au/ as a thank you for their generous support of the Boules Artistes.

 

Bunnings East Gardens have generously donated the materials for us to make our Club game scorers, and also the railway sleepers and brackets to attach them. We thank Bunnings East Gardens for their support and ask that you consider buying your supplies from Bunnings East Gardens, to thank them for their generosity.
