Join our Upcoming Dodo PĂ©tanque Club â Boulez-vous?
Dodo Club is also introducing petanque, a social and inclusive non-strenuous game aimed at our older members and new members of all ages who are interested in meeting and socialising with new friends.
This popular French game of boules does not require speed or athleticism associated with our other sports of football, gymnastics, or boxercise, but the emphasis is on skill, concentration, and accuracy rather than power or reaction time. It requires judgement of distance and the ability to vary your technique and delivery depending on what type of surface or slope is being used, in many ways having more in common with golf than most other sports.Â
Dodo Club is looking for interest from local people interested in learning and playing this relaxing social game on a Sunday morning in Broomfield Park, Palmers Green, to later participate in friendly tournaments against other petanque clubs in various parts of London, particularly in West London where the game is more established.Â
As a member of the Dodo Petanque Club, you will be invited to join our family football trips to France and take part in friendlies against French petanque teams. French expats are welcome to join the Dodo team, after all this is part of Dodo Clubâs ongoing strategy to promote LâEntente Cordiale!Â
