Petanque players are invited to participate in the Edmonds Petanque Club’s annual Bastille Day Tournament, beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 14, at the Edmonds Civic Playfield.
The Bastille Day petanque tournament is a community event open to everyone, regardless of experience, said Jack McHenry of the club. “It’s an excellent opportunity to learn more about the game of petanque and meet many players from Edmonds and other clubs in the area,” he said.
Each participant plays four games over the course of the day, and is paired with two new teammates in each game. This is a “panache” design, where teams of three players are randomly selected so that participants get to know as many other players as possible.
Croissants and coffee start the day. At 12 noon an accordion player provides appropriate French café music. There is also a tombola and an auction at lunchtime.
Participation costs $30 for club members and $35 for non-members. For more information and to register, visit www.edmondspetanqueclub.org.
