Hi John: I hope you get this email. I moved to RVA last January. I’m a fan of all thinks French. I’ve decided to learn the game of Petanque and I was wondering if les Boulefrogs are still active. If so, does the group still welcome novice players and if the group still meets on Thursday PMs and Sundays afternoons? Thanks and hope to join you when weather permits.

Steve,
We would be absolutely delighted if you would join us. We are a really mixed bunch of friendly amateurs and you will be made to feel very welcome
We don’t play when it: rains, snows or falls below 40F – otherwise, yes Thursdays at 6.00pm and Sundays at 2.00pm
More people turn up on the Sunday. If you have a Satnav put in 2821 East Grace St, Richmond, VA 23223. The courts are in Chimborazo Playground
We have plenty of spare balls and you will be guided through the basic rules in 10 minutes and you will be playing within 15!
Looking forward to meeting you
