Hello, I live in Charlottesville Virginia and I play lots of pétanque. I am French and every summer I go visite my family in France and we play at least 20 or so tournaments around the southern region of France. In November I will be back in the United States and I was wondering if I could make an appearance and play some pétanque. I am a decent player. I just want to play more often which is difficult since there aren’t very many people who play in the U.S. Well I hope this works out. Thank you!

Hi Richard,
You’re quite welcome to come and play with us any time. If you plan to be in town when we’re not scheduled to play, let us know and we can probably round up enough players for few games.
Our general play times are Sundays at 2.00pm and Thursday evenings at 6.00pm.
