Pétanque is a sport played throughout the world, in fact if you have been on holiday to France you will almost certainly have seen it played on village squares, indeed you may have been invited to join in.
What is not often realised is that pétanque is also played in the UK. It is a fast growing family sport for all ages and ideal for the whole family.
Coventry Pétanque Club welcome all new comers, whether experienced players or new to the sport, and all ages, though we must ask that young people under 13 are supervised by parents at all times. Boules are available for your use, to get you started.

The floodlights at the terrain are out of action so as a temporary measure Friday evening club night is now SATURDAY MORNING, starting at 10am. We hope this arrangement will not be too long lasting but the repairs are in the hands of Burnt Post management.

Last updated. 26/11/2021 Honours list updated Report and photographs from the annual dinner added. |
Annual presentation dinner
The annual presentation dinner took place on Thursday November 25th.. Once again the venue was the Queen and Castle at Kenilworth, where we were treated to some lovely Christmas fare. The conversation flowed as freely as the wine and beer and although the numbers were down, due to members still being cautious over Covid, those who did attend had an enjoyable evening. Trophies were handed out to this years winners, photographs are in the gallery. Adrian and Myra Emson (Chiltern) were unable to attend to collect the Alexandra trophy, nor were Graham and Roger (Solihull) able to collect the Over 60's one so these will be kept in safe keeping for them.
