Thursday Night Lessons in Physics......

A lovely warm Spring evening drew us out to bask, in the now, super bright stadium lights of McCarren Park and enjoy a few games of Petanque. As we often bring out extra sets of Bolues to use as targets it is always handy when passers-by wish to join in; and last night was a fine example of just of just that. A boisterous bunch of local lads, eager to comprehend what the hell we we're doing with the metal balls, asked if the could play. So after a brief lesson in petanque etiquette, we played an interesting game of triples with jovial smiles abound. Then as the night wore on and the boys left of prior engagements another couple of likely players ambled by and stopped to watch. So, as before, we educated them on the rules and game play. It is truly amazing how quickly can fall in love with Petanque and pick it up so naturally, after and initial warm up and an quick lesson in physics. Thanks to all that stopped by an we hope to see you again soon..........
