GANDIA AREA SOCIAL CLUB (INTERNATIONAL)

Petanca (or Petanque) is a Spanish ball-game very like, if not exactly the same as, the French game of boules. Read the rules to see how easy a game it is to play, our players use a couple of small adaptations on the official rules (as marked in blue).

The Club´s petanca players meet twice weekly in Bellreguard - down behind Bellreguard Playa on Mondays and Fridays. Monday games generally seem more popular with around 30 people attending. The players meet all year round regardless of weather, except for rain which unfortunately does stop play.

Kick off is at 2.30 and the games continue for a couple of hours untill thirst and/or fatigue drives the players into an adjacent bar.

Petanca may not be particularly energetic, but it gets you out of the house, into the fresh air and a chance to chat with friends. For more information ask Ron and Jean 96 280 0423.
