Feeling the heat ...




A big weekend for visitors to the HSPC club with Neil from England dropping by on Saturday and Frenchman Bernard and Adrian from Switzerland joining us on Sunday.

Neil, a former power lifter, took to shooting very quickly and after teaming up with Raj and Greg was inspirational in a 2-1 game victory over Mike, Vas and Yutaka.

Bernard and Raj took on Bob and Greg in the first game on Sunday and rallied from 5-0 down to win 13-10 in a marathon. Next game saw Adrian, Bernard and Greg take on Bob, Raj and Yutaka and after playing over some rocky terrain not often visited by the home club, Adrian, Bernard and Greg emerged winners before Steve stepped in for Yutaka and the home side won the revenge match.

A loud storm threatened to wash out our fun but apart from a few drops held off. The only answer to the stifling heat was plenty of ice-cold beer and a lovely bottle of French white wine.

Thanks to all those who dropped by. Not too many photos of the action though we did capture one of the red skies at sunset.

Scott sighting ...



Scott's been secretly training in the Himalayas for the Petanque World Championships and the intrepid traveler looks to have recruited some new team mates.

Way to go dude!

Still drying out after Scott and Rick's visit ...







The rain fell in buckets -- as did the beers!!! -- when Bob's friend Scott and his pal Rick visted from the US on their way to the sacred Himalayan Homelands.

Thanks for playing in the league Scott, you did well mate.




The mini barbie was a beauty! Got to get some more of those sausages.

Great seeing you guys and some memorable games from under "The Clubhouse."

Stay in touch.
