NORHAM PETANQUE CLUB
The objective in petanque is to score points by having boules closer to the target than your opponent after all boules have been thrown. This is achieved by projecting boules closer to the small target ball, called a cochonnet, or by hitting the opponents’ boules away from the target whilst standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground.
Membership is open to all at £10 per year and non-members are welcome to join a club session on a pay and play basis of £1 a time.
​
All equipment is supplied by the club and the only requirement is that you wear flat, closed-toe shoes for safety.
​
We hold an annual friendly competition for club members and we also hold annual Open Days and in 2019 joined with the, I AM TEAM GB initiative in the Nation’s Biggest Sports Day.
​
Norham Petanque Club is affiliated to the Scottish Petanque Association and takes part in the South Scotland League which is a friendly league amongst clubs in the Scottish Borders. In 2019 this included Penicuik, Melrose, Walkerburn, Glasgow, Moffat and Inverleith.
