22nd February - 2 Ladies Days
The
International Women's Day National Pairs event will be held on Saturday
June 29th probably at Whitnash.
Last
year the qualification for this event was part of the Ladies fun day held
at the Fox.
The
initial intention was to repeat this but to avoid confusion it has been
decided to hold 2 events.
Both events are now on the playing calendar.
The
Ladies Fun day will be held at the Fox on Saturday June 8th, for further
details contact
The
IWD qualifier will be held at Hollicarrs on Sunday April 7th.
If there are 1 to 4 pairs in the qualifier, only the winner will qualify
to represent Yorkshire at Whitnash.
5
to 11 pairs the top 2 pairs will qualify.
12 to 23 pairs the top 4 teams will qualify.
Entry
to both of these events is open to all ladies who play petanque in
Yorkshire.
However
Petanque England membership is required for the pairs who qualify for the
IWD event.

you cross into Barnsley MBC.
Doncaster PC is between the A1 and Doncaster centre.
Both are park on the road with no restrictions or charges.
