We have started a small projects to clean up our petanque-website directory hotboule. And as a part of this effort we have a very fair demand for all sites that we link: Link to us.
There are a lot of sites out there. Some good, some bad, and some just plain weird ones. But they share one thing in common: A passion for petanque. And to keep this passion flowing for the users it is important that any visitor to your site can find out more about the game, and visit other petanque-sites.
We have always linked everyone, but it has come to our attention that not everyone else does this. And as action speaks louder than words we have decided to remove all links to sites that does not link us. It will take a few weeks tom implement this as a spider needs to be made to automatically check all links we have registered.
So - if you have a petanque-site listed in hotboule or a blog in our blog-section add a link to petanque.org now to ensure that your site stays in hotboule.
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...
We have integrated petanque.org with yet another newcomer to the web, this time it is youtube. So please give us your ideas!
Here are some pics from the 2nd Johannesburg Open played at the Boulesdust piste at the Zoo Lake Sports Club in Johannesburg (see Google Pic). There were 10 doublets who played in 2 round robin leagues. The top 2 teams then played in the semi-finals. The final was won by Paul and Howie who beat Gerald and Bridget in a tense final that finished well after 8pm.
We have received word that we have supplied quite a lot of images to a story by the municipal Library in Lyon, France. And the story is worth a read!
Many years ago there was no way of getting your pictures online unless you knew someone with a homepage. Or you mailed them to petanque.org, and we'd put it on the web for you. But nowadays nobody does this thing anymore, there are thousands of ways to get your images online, and our pictures-section is about as dry as the sahara. So we have had to make some changes
