THURSDAY NIGHT MELEE*

Caerleon RFC Petanque Club have held a friendly and successful melee for a number of years. 

Melees run every dry (ish - we are quite hardy!) Thursday.  Be at the club between 6.45 and 6.55pm to register - play starts at 7pm. 

Everyone is welcome - beginners and old hands - club members and visitors.  Its £1 to play, and there is at least one prize each week - we play at least 2 games, and 3 if the weather is fine: you can play all games or drop out after one as you prefer.  Boules can be borrowed from the club if needed.

* WHAT IS A MELEE? - Boules is played as a team game and for most competitions you turn up with your ready-formed team. In a melee you turn up as an individual, all names are put into aht for a random draw, and teams are formed as names are pulled.  It means that in each round you will be playing with a different team mate - and against different opposition.  Melees are ideal for people who want to learn the game, or for those who know how to play but want a friendly competition where they need to adapt their game each time they are put with a new team
