Bar Tabac Bastille Day Pétanque Tournament 2008

An email Brooklyn Boule Received about Bastille day, and our reply, to the best of my knowledge :-


Hi,

I was reading your blog and the post about playing on Smith Street on Bastille day.
Where do you sign up? I can't find any info online.

Thanks,
Alex


Alex,

For the Bar Tabac Bastille Day Tournament on the 13 th July 2008.
Your best bet is signing up at Bar Tabac or at Tout Va Bien in person. These are, as far as I know, the only "open" places for unaffiliated LBNY or Brooklyn Boule club members. Slots are scarce, so put your name and cash down ASAP.It's first come first served.( I believe it's $35.00 per team, but I could be wrong.) Please call these restaurants first, to make appointments, as they are very busy this time of year, and respect their time and patience. Brooklyn Boule has our honored place in the tournament so keep an eye out for us and cheer us on..... If you or anyone else misses out on this year you can join Brooklyn Boule or LBNY, to play in next years Bastille day Tournament and all season long, with membership to either of these local clubs.

All the best and see you there.

New York Open 2007 - Bryant Park- Bruces and Sheilas

Pictures for the New York Open. Brooklyn Boule cross the river yet again and test their skills against the New Yorkaise and other fine Players from near and far. A fine sunny weekend for Pentanque, beneath the skyscrapers and surrounded by trees. 32 teams of doubles, enjoyed two full days of intense playing, shaking hands, sharing stories and finishing off the day at the park bar for endless rounds of refreshing drinks. Hats off to all that played, and may we meet again soon......
