Fundraiser at Copperwaite Saturday 28 February 2009

Report by Stan Wilson.
Over 40 people gathered on Saturday
28 Feb in beautiful late summer weather. During the morning, some strolled in the grounds while others enjoyed the stunning swimming pool and spa. After lunch most played three games of Pétanque on different playing areas selected from the 13 designated areas. Article 5 of the rule book; "pétanque can be played on any terrain” was amply demonstrated. Some of the playing areas were bounded by precipitous drops and thick undergrowth. Surprisingly, in spite of some anxious moments only one boule was lost for ever! In the evening guests were entertained by "Spiral Dance" and those with sufficient energy danced on the lawn till dusk.
$365 was raised for the SAPL Junior Development Fund.

Congratulations

to this...


Winners with trophy.

Having qualified for the principale on Saturday and not wanting to be "relegated" to the Ladies category on the second day of the competition Anna O'Connor, Deb Rodda and Wendy Bensen (Eastern Suburbs Pétanque Club) opted for the "tougher" path by staying in the "Open" category.
Their decision was vindicated by an awesome display of power pétanque...
Quarter final:- defeated Gary van Someren, Rex Brown & Jonathon Burgess (Apollo Bay). Score: 13 - 9
Semi final:- defeated Alexi Alexi, Mahesh Vaswani & Arwed Turon (Easter Suburbs Pétanque). Score: 13 - 1
Final:- defeated David Williams, Dave Walker & Bernie Bommarito (Melbourne). Score: 13 - 1
