State mixed doubles today at Prospect saw two predictable results: Prospect turned on the sunshine and Van and Ha won yet another state title.

26 teams competed on a glorious winter's day, with the following results:
- Principale: Van and Ha defeating Ken and Deb Rodda
- Consolante: Haejung and Alexi defeating Charlie and Dave
- Knockout challenge: a very happy Valentina and Richard V beating Craig and Jean
- Conviviale ran late due to a tight semi, with Brian and Rae prevailing over Ned and Selina
- The very Conviviale saw Ken and Pam defeat Tim and Val.

Brett umpired and served tirelessly all day, David J fetched and helped with lunch and the Prospect crew all chipped in to setup, serve and clean up.

Thanks to all the helpers, and of course Anthony for doing the organising.

Well we were lucky last night to have a great meal to warm us up, as cool as it was, thankfully no rain considering what fell over the week-end, which was 70mls in 36 hours.
Even though it was on the cooler side, it did not stop games happening while dinner was being finalised. Val and Tim prepared a tasty meal of Tandoori Chicken served with Tomato Lentil Dahl, & Tomato Cucumber salad. So a big thank you to our cooks and to those that cleaned up after the meal.

See you on Saturday for "The Saturday Competition" starting at 2.30pm regsiter by 2.25, $2.00 to play winner takes all. See you Saturday! There are 6 players on a 1 point handicap.

We held the Wednesday night Melee on another cold winters night. Many of us stayed inside unless we were playing. Thankfully there was no wind so with our coats and hats we could play two good games of Pétanque. In between we were treated to a lovely meal made by Roberta and Pierre which included Honey Mustard chicken served with Rice and for dessert was Sticky Date Cake served with Ice cream.

Thank you to the Chefs and the Bar staff for keeping everyone lubricated!

The winning team who took home the spoils to share.

Thanks to everyone for coming and getting into the spirit of the evening. Even though it was cold outside inside it was warm as toast!

Another cold winters night but that did not deter 40 die hards to come along to our Wednesday night session. We welcomed along two younger players thanks to Aurora, Jamie and Amy to give pétanque a try.

A lovely winter warming meal of Tuna mornay pasta bake, a Chicken bake and Vegetable Bake with a choice of bread was available. Cake with cream was available who were still hungry.

Thanks to our cooks Wendy and Yvonne and the assistance on clean up Marilyn T and Janet. Many hands make light work.

Last night saw about 35 brave souls come along and enjoy a game or two of Pétanque, we were lucky with no rain but it was cold. Petanquers know how to rug up!
Val and Tim were on kitchen duies and made a lovely warm meal of Spanish Meatballs in butter beans served with potatoes and peas. Just the thing to eat on a cold night. Thanks to the cooks and helpers with cleaning up after the meal.
