We are due for another game of boules on Monday (18th) at 10.15 on the pitch behind the library.

If the forecast proves correct it may be too hot to be comfortable.    However, I’ve been on a little scout around this morning and found one or two small shady areas where we could play on grass.     That’s the beauty of boules, you can play on most surfaces.

I will be there on Monday and wait a short time (max. 10 mins) to see if anyone joins me.  It’s your choice entirely.     Should you arrive later and can see no one about check the area behind the Cenotaph war memorial as we may have moved there.   If you do wish to play I suggest long sleeves, a hat and maybe a parasol.   Plus some water.

If we don’t go ahead we could try an alternative day.

Several players have now called off playing on Monday due to the forecasted hot weather and the government and NHS advice not to venture out unnecessarily during the height of the sunshine.    I think it would be wise NOT to play in these extraordinary circumstances and cancel Monday’s game.   I hope you are all happy to agree.    Ken.     

I’m hoping the weather may be cooler next week and so I’m suggesting that yesterday’s postponed game be rescheduled for this coming Monday (25th) at 10.15am on the pitch behind the library.   Hope to see you there.   We will then get back on track and make the following game 7 days later (1st Aug) and fortnightly thereafter, ie the 15th, and then decide whether or not we play on the Bank Holiday Monday or perhaps the Tuesday (30th).
