A little piece of ‘La Belle France’ in Wellow
Our boules piste provides the ideal venue for an early summer evening’s relaxation and socialising alongside gentle exercise.
Regular weekly Boules Group ‘soireé’ take place from 6.00pm each Wednesday and 2:30om on Sunday in the summer months. On Thursday at 7:00pm the piste is used for League matches. Outside of these times it is available for use whenever people want it.
All villagers, beginners and experts, are welcome to come along to the ‘piste’ and join in, or just to sit and watch the fun. There is no need for your own equipment; plenty of spare boules are available for newcomers. Refreshments are ‘de rigeur’ so please bring your own to share with the winners and losers. Plastic glasses are recommended.
Following play, the Boules Group often go to The Fox & Badger to discuss ‘all things boules’. On sunny Sunday afternoons, families are welcome to pack a picnic and join the Boules Group for a game: 2:30pm onwards.
