Festival of Boules 2012

This event was spanned over two days at six different venues (four teams at each).  At least one novice per team had to be given the chance to play.  Team captains were allowed to give advice during games.

We took with us three newbies (those that had not played in any league games).  All did pretty well -  the only player not to win a game was me (of course)!  Each of us played at least two games.  The new mini format of only six ends, worked well.

Overall, we drew two matches (against Kettleburgh and Framlingham) and lost one (Aldeburgh White Lion). Took along my home-made circles but a few players preferred not to use them.  This meant that some of the foot drawn circles turned out to be the size of small planets!

Thanks to Pat, Steve and Loretta who made the trip and to Simon Fletcher, who not only organised the whole event but was present at all venues to record scores etc.
