On Monday 15th December for the first time a new CD with thirteen (13!) songs on the game of boules was presented in the Netherlands. In France there are several songs on petanque, but there is not a commercial CD that is completely dedicated to the game of petanque. And we offer one of the songs online here at petanque.org, for all of you to enjoy!
The new CD, “Vive la pétanque”, is the initiative of the petanque club “De Schaafboulers” in Leeuwarden, in the North of the Netherlands. The club is named after the Music Centre “Schaaf” in Leeuwarden. The club has his domicile in the garden of this Music Centre and the makers of the CD, who are professional musicians, are members of the petanque club. One of them, Frans van den Borg, is the joint-owner of the Music Centre, which has its own sound recording facilities.
All thirteen songs are original and sung in Dutch on existing national and international well-known melodies.
Song No. 13 is available in MP3 format right here at petanque.org:
Vive la petanque ( MP3 )

Finally some petanque-product news have arrived. It is not often new things appear, boules are quite simple items, and the differences are subtle mostly. But this time it is a completely new product
It is 7h30 I have slept only 4 hours and I am one of them. My team number is 207 and we are playing against V.Chavinat game 1581. I go to the games Office, get my playing pack (3 bags, 3 t-shirts , 3 bobs/soft sun hats, 3 chifonettes) and my playing card on which we will have to enter the score at the end of the first round and return it to the same office.
We just got word of a new petanque-game, for all of those of you with a PC. It's called "petank party", and looks quite unique...
