2018 Herne Bay Winter Series June - August

Our long-serving committee members

At our August 2018 AGM Norman Stanhope and Winifred Lamb were presented with a hamper to show the club’s appreciation of the time they have spent on the committee. Winifred was on the committee for nearly 10 years, two of those organising hall hire with assistance from Norman when needed. Norman was on the committee for a record 14 years, as president in 2014 and again this year. He has been invaluable to the club, making sure things get done, organising building maintenance inside and out, communicating with council on behalf of the club and on Thursdays keeping us up to date on what’s happening. They are now both taking a well-earned rest from committee work but definitely still active club members. 

2018 The French Festival 9-10 June

On the weekend when the French played the All Blacks at Eden Park, the Cloud became a French Village and Fanzone. As part of the festival a petanque triples competition was held in the area between the Cloud and Shed 10 on Queens Wharf where eight 10-metre pistes were constructed.
The two-day fun tournament was very successfully organised by Ann Shields and Margaret Penny. Read Ann's informative APA report here.
SATURDAY and SUNDAY RESULTS here

Arbour Day (5 June) a flowering cherry tree planted in memory of Chris Beams

Chris was a club member for 10 years and was well known by all for his quick wit and sense of humour. He also made his mark as committee member, treasurer and very noticeably as gardener – planting many shrubs and the trees on the eastern slope, also citrus trees and establishing a productive vegetable patch for the benefit of all. He was a greatly valued personal friend of Sandy and Francoise.

A farewell Thursday morning tea for Beverley

Beverley Morris (QSO), now 94, has decided to retire from petanque. She has been an active member of Herne Bay Petanque Club for over 22 years, serving on the committee for many of those years. Her story about the early history of the club is included on this website. Beverley has always been competitive on the pistes and enjoyed her games. All in all a great role model for other members.

Auckland wins 2017 Chanticleer Cup Challenge 26-27 Aug in Palmerston Nth

This Auckland v Wellington challenge was a two-day tournament with Singles and Doubles on day one and Triples on day two. Points were allocated for wins as follows: Singles 1 point, Doubles 2 points, Triples 3 points.
Day one: After the first two rounds of Singles (24 games), the score was locked even with Auckland 12, Wellington 12. After three rounds of Doubles (18 games), Auckland ended the day on 38 points, Wellington 22 points.
Day two: After three rounds of Triples (12 games), Auckland had 65 points, Wellington 31 points. Auckland had retained the cup and it was decided not to play the fourth round.
The competition between the regions was much closer than the final results suggest. Auckland players were forced to fight for their wins, many games ended in scores of 13-12, 13-11, 13-10 etc. A very enjoyable tournament with all games played in good spirit under blue skies with no wind and no rain... Perfect ! The local Manawatu Petanque Club did themselves proud as hosting club, welcoming and taking care of all players and management with a spread of delicious food available both days.
