     Under clear skies on 27^th May, 18 members played five games in a bid to be the first to have their name engraved on the new “Singles Champion Trophy”. This newly inaugurated competition will now be held yearly within the Air Hostess Pétanque Club.

     In order to get a good cross section of play, the games were played almost non-stop on a timed basis across 9 pistes. This hectic schedule brought about some interesting results amongst the members, with Barbara doing a sterling job under some pressure keeping the scores.

     At the end of play, 3 members were unbeaten winning all their games, Peter Andrew and Den. After a recount  Andrew emerged as the club’s first singles champion having a better “points for” tally but only by a single point from the runner-up Dennis with Peter in  3^rd place . Ian was alone in fourth place being the only player to have dropped just one game. No-one lost all their games although Malcolm was helped out by a “winning” bye!

     The trophies were produced and presented by Peter to Andrew along with wine,  Dennis also being rewarded with a bottle of the red stuff.

     Thanks all those members who helped organise and make the evening the success it was, especially to Peter for his huge input into the whole event. We now look forward to the possibility of following this with a new “Triples” competition later in the season for club members.

The damp and constant drizzle did not prevent ten teams doing battle at the Air Hostess' pistes on Thursday 29th. April. Although termed a friendly, there was no lack in competitive aggression. Ann organised the teams into pairs formation and despite the inclement weather some interesting games ensued. All other teams were well into their second round games before the home pairing of Peter & Malcolm eventually posted their 13 first round points on the board.

Rob & Will had a couple of tough games as did Nutbrook's Steve & Sheila and Dave & Jennie, all three pairings coming unstuck in the first 2 rounds. David & Sue won both their games for the home team, Barry & Marilyn also Kevin & Richard secured one of their games as did Zena & Brian.

Roger & Don set a high standard winning their first two games and had their noses infront by just a point in the final round when it was decided that the warmth of the bar, superb buffet and refreshments were more of a friendly than the unceasing rain. Ann had paired up with Phil to make Nutbrook's  fifth team - a two club combination which steamed through the competition without losing a game. The final tally gave the visitors a win by 7 games to 5.

Thanks to all who turned out despite the bad weather and to those travelling from afar - to Ann for organising the whole evening and also to Steve and his bar staff for providing the well received food & drink.

'Air Hostess P.C.'   v   'Doncaster P.C.'  

The warm summer-like Saturday of 17^th April, saw the ‘Air Hostess’  playing hosts to the Doncaster Pétanque Club in a mélée competition for the “Leslie Nunn Trophy”.

Under cloudless blue skies, 12 members from each club took to the newly laid  pistes at Tollerton. The  format of  “mélée-ing” the  triples players within the each club for every game brought about some interesting and evenly contested play throughout the day .
