Petanque 100 in the Triangle

With players all the way from Charlotte, Salisbury, Lexington, Winston-Salem, Greensboro and of course Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill, we were close to 40 to celebrate Petanque 100 this Sunday, at the Inn at Bingham School, a dream location for a petanque party.
We had a lot of fun, played, ate and drank very well!
And the kids had a blast playing croquet, badminton or plain hide & seek.

Two special surprises among the petanque crowd:
Christian, who seldom plays, but whose grandfather had a bar in Marseille, so the genes are there - and Andy, a 747 captain who had never played, but knows a thing or two about landing in the right spot.

Thanks a bunch to Francois for his generous hospitality!
