First SW Regional to be hosted by Las Vegas Petanque!


FPUSA SW REGIONAL “One Over 65” DOUBLES
Sunday, March 31, 2013
AT LEAST ONE PLAYER ON EACH TEAM MUST BE 65 YEARS OR OVER ON THE DAY OF THE TOURNAMENT
 
Welcome to the Las Vegas Petanque Club! 
We are looking forward to playing with petanque players from other cities in the Southwest Region on Sunday March 31, 2013. We play on a terrain made of decomposed granite that is relatively flat, mostly hard (no rain!) but with some softer spots and some stones too. In the morning we will offer coffee and cookies, at lunch we will provide sandwiches, and after the games: apero! Note that there is no store around. Let us know if you are spending several days in town ...
