What’s our Club like? Welcoming and friendly is a reputation that we cherish. Newcomers often comment on this. We hope we are non-judgemental and we’d like everyone to feel part of the same Club. Playing games at the Club every week with teams randomly drawn mixes everyone up. We want to avoid smaller cliques only playing within one another. If you like playing as part of a regular team there are plenty of opportunities to do this playing at competitions. In the end most members are just out for a good time!
The Club is larger than many other clubs with now over 100 members which is about 10% of Victorian players. On the other hand a typical weekly Club game might involve only 20-30 members at a time so in practice it is not overwhelmingly large. Regardless of numbers we're a happy lot, we put thisvideo together last year.
Our players cover a variety of skill levels. From newcomers, to those mainly interested in playing social Club games, to those who enjoy joining in competitions held around the State and finally to those who play at a high championship standard. All these people play together in our weekly Club games, there are no leagues or divisions. So as a newcomer you may well be playing with an expert and together you may well win one of our weekly prizes!
Our Members include all age groups and backgrounds and we are particularly keen to welcome younger players. You will be encouraged to learn the game and it’s few rules and hopefully will follow on from our current youngest Member who in 2017 represented Australia in the Junior World Petanque Championship in China. Well done Zac!
Our Facilities
Since moving to Lynden Park we have added 3 attractive shelters which makes playing more pleasant if the weather is not brilliant. And the Council have just completed a major upgrade to the areas surrounding the pistes, including seating and landscaping. The modern Clubhouse has great catering facilities and heaps of room. We have a close relationship with the Council and are grateful for their continuing interest in us. We play petanque with them every year, they are quite competitive!
