Lars Refn was one of the founders of the Copenhagen Petanque Club in Denmark. He is also an illustrator, and has produces a vast number of t-shirts with petanque as the theme over the years.
With the 25 years passing Lars had a look at all the different t-shits he had made, and it turns out they were quite a few, and quite funny some of them too..
(This one reads "Do it with a pig" , ie. the cochonette. We hope that what he means anyway! )
Lars has a gallery of these on his home page, at larsrefn.dk
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
Check out all the peyanque-images at our flickr loves petanque -section!
