Fareham PC celebrated 40 years this year with a party at their club house in Fareham NW Community Centre. More than 60 people including some founder members attended, and played a fun petanque match. 3 players playing doubles, so that our veterans could take a breather at any time. Many of them were over 80 years old. But still ready for a game. We received a visit from our Mayor Cllr Pal Hayer, who cut the birthday cake for us and stayed to watched the final games in the afternoon.
The winners were:
Gold: Martin Ware and Annick Godfrey. | Runners up: Mark Robertshaw, June Minnet and Dick Francis. |
Silver: Alan and Val Samuel. | Runners up: Paul Hayward and Doug Gladding and Jed Stone |
Bronze: Gerry Mac, Eddy Maskell-White, and Sara Tiller. | Runners up: Jackie Churcher, Maralyn and Avril Furzer. |
Special prize for overseas player Annick Godfrey. |
