Silverstream Bowls And Petanque

Silverstream Bowling Club, located in Wellington, is excited to promote their local Lawn Bowls event. This event is perfect for those interested in the sport, no matter their age or skill level.

Every Wednesday and Sunday throughout the year, Silverstream Bowls And Petanque hosts Join Petanque Club days. These days are a fantastic opportunity to learn and play the game of petanque. For those unfamiliar with the game, petanque involves throwing metal balls, or 'boules', as close as possible to a smaller target ball called a 'cochonnet'.

One of the great things about petanque is its accessibility. It is a low physical impact game that can be played on a variety of surfaces, such as hard packed stone dust, gravel, or even other solid surfaces. The challenge level can vary depending on the surface, with surfaces that have more pebbles or undulations adding to the difficulty.

Petanque can be played in different formats, including singles, doubles, and triples. Each player has a specific number of balls to play depending on the format. The objective of the game is to have your boules closest to the cochonnet to score points. At the end of each round, the team with the most boules closest to the target ball earns points. The game is played to a total of 13 points.

For those new to the game or looking to brush up on their skills, the Silverstream Bowls And Petanque club encourages beginners to visit the website pétanque.org. This website offers helpful resources, including the official rules of petanque.
