If you are interested in playing in a winter league on Sunday afternoons please come along to the Bell, Great Paxton on Wednesday October 8th 7:30pm where we hope to decide teams, venues and match format.
Postponed Fixture
The August 20th fixture between the Crown and Bell Ringers has been postponed until September 3rd. Please note the venue is now the Barley Mow (tbc).
2025 Doubles Finalists
Congratulations to Jody Arch & Phil Wayles (Crown) and Mark Underwood & Matt Warren (North Buckden Badgers) who have won through to finals night after winning their respective venue Doubles Knockout competitions last night.
2025 Singles Finalists
Congratulations to Alex Warren (North Buckden Badgers), Matt Smith (Anchor), Neil Stubbs (Crown) and Phil Sargeant (Barley Mow) who go through to finals night on 24th September having seen off strong opposition in the Singles Competition at the two venues last night.
2025 Summer League Fixtures Now Live
The new season fixtures are now on the web site. Sorry for how late they are but we tried hard to create a seventh team and almost got there but, in the end, we didn't quite have enough new players. Also, the North Anchor team will be based at a new venue - the Vine in Buckden - playing as the North Buckden Badgers. This took longer than expected to organise. So, thank you for bearing with us whilst we sorted out these things! Enjoy a summer of petanque.
2025 Summer Season Start
We have still to finalise the teams and fixtures for the upcoming summer season but the start dates are fixed. The first league matches will take place on Wednesday April 23rd preceded by two open practice sessions so players can throw some boules ahead of the competitive games. We look forward to seeing you all then.
New Rules For 2025
A number of rule revisions were agreed at the AGM which take effect from this season. It is important that all players familiarise themselves with these changes, in particular the significant revision to when a boule is out of bounds and when it is still in play.

2024 Winter League Winners
Congratulations to team Pheads (Matt, Alex, Sue, Dale and Bob) on winning this year's winter league. It's been very competitive, but good fun. More people should give it a try.
2025 Annual General Meeting
Hi, it's that time of year again when we need to start looking forward to the new summer season. To that end, the AGM will be held on 5th March 2025 at the Barley Mow, starting at 7.30pm. Anyone wishing to join a team can come along and be introduced to the relevant team captains. Hopefully, we will have the same teams as last year, though there may be some changes. If anyone has something they wish to raise at the meeting then feel free to contact Dave Sellick ahead of time. Dave is happy to stand as Chairman again this year but if anyone else would like the role, feel free to put yourself forward and he will happily stand aside. We look forward to seeing you all again on the 5th.
