40th Post. Boules, Badges and Breakout.


Some images from our 'Socially Distancing' play over the last week of beautiful weather followed by wintry weather.  The timetable worked fairly well for the Monday, Wednesday and Saturday Slots from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. 

As you will see from the end of the page, after the Taoiseach's announcement on Friday 5th on the easing of Covid-19 restrictions we can have 15 players which would mean we could recommence the Wednesday League as well as having larger groups on the Mon. Wed. and Sat.

4 x 4 per piste makes 16 players on any day, mindful of social distancing.  

Earlier in the week we had beautiful sunshine......





All that lovely weather replaced by wintry, weather  conditions on Friday 5th and Saturday 6th.

Only the Brave....!

Incoming!

Where have the shorts gone....?




Badges:
Below are photos of the range of coloured badges for our Bayside Boules Community.  They are a quality embroidered badge that can be ironed-on permanently, or stitched on at the corners, or stitched along the sides, or attached by using a tie pin [easiest for attaching to multiple garments].
If you want to switch between items of clothing ironing-on is not advisable.  If ironing-on to a shirt 
[ permanent!!] check this website for instructions:  irishschoolbadges.ie/application.html

They cost €5 each.  You can buy multiples and choose your colours ..... while stocks last.  First come /  first served.  I may not have your preferred colour, if you delay.  Order by text to 0874115145 rather than the group text and I'll put them aside for you. When they're gone they're gone!  Please put the 'paper'  money in an envelope when paying with your name and your order on the outside.

Lockup not Lockdown:
We now have a storage facility for the Boules Paraphernalia with a code lock.  Ring me for the location and the code.  Please be gentle with the locking mechanism as it is not the most robust unit.  
  • The lock code has to be entered.  Then you can open the shackle. Then temporarily remove the lock.
  • N.B. Press in the Grey Button on the handle and turn the handle to unlock the lid.
  • Raise the lid gently and then you can open the door/s right hand side first.
  • Take out whatever is needed.  The wooden-handled rakes are stored separately, nearby.
  • Gently close the doors [N.B. making sure that the top left of the right-hand door engages with the slot on the top left of the left-hand door.]
  • Bring the lid down gently.
  • Then press in the Grey Button again and turn the handle to lock on the roof panel.
  • Replace the lock with the red line facing left with the Code and only then scramble the numbers after after you've closed the shackle.

142nd Post: Availing of the beautiful weather....

 Matchplay 2025; Ciarán's Matchplay has completed the Round Robin series and is now in the Knockout phase.  The pairs, selected by Ciarán, have proven to be very even with almost all games going to the third end in the qualifying stage. The quarter-final pairings are being decided at present and all bets are off!  The games are well attended and great entertainment is on offer in the late evening sunshine.  Pétanque Sligo visitors: Eventually Pétanque Sligo managed to visit Bayside Boules on Sat May 3rd.  They travelled by train and DART and were picked up by Bayside club members and transported to the pistes.  They had the use of the Bayside school toilet which was a great bonus. After the welcome sandwiches play started about 1:45 p.m.  They had 12 players and BBC had 18 available.  We split the pairs after each match on both sides with 6 BBC players sitting out for the first three rounds.  For round four BBC played Triples versus their Dou...

137th Post: Cavan Pétanque Club visit to Bayside Boules Club

BBC  v  CPC Sunday 3rd November in Alden Park: The outstanding rematch between Cavan and Bayside took place in murky but dry weather in Alden Park yesterday.  Cavan originally expected to have 18 players but their numbers fell to 13 on the day.  Bayside had 27 players on our list and that dwindled also, but able replacements showed up on the day. CPC were treated to refreshments in the BCC and greeted by Eileen D, Eileen O'B, Mary G, Agnes G and Kathryn O'D from the BBC.  They were able to have tea/coffee and sandwiches and use the facilities before decanting to Alden Park.  Our thanks to the ladies who did the 'meet and greet'.  The sandwiches were provided by Perfect Day Café courtesy of the €5 collected from each BBC player on the day.   They arrived well before the scheduled time and were at Alden shortly after noon.  They practiced for a half hour and then we commenced play with the BBC teams being rejigged due to the earlier start....

141st Post: BBC goes Marching On....

 Monday Competition: With two weeks of Competition remaining very little separates the top three.  Chris is in pole position with Sean J and John O'C in close pursuit.  Maureen Deane is the top lady at present. By the time you're reading this the penultimate round will have been played and things might have changed.  All to play for. Maintenance Work: On account of the unseasonably nice weather we decided to treat the surroundings and display panel with wood preserving stain. A bulletin went out and over three afternoons the boundaries, display board, flower beds and benches got treated and even labelled.  The crew are in the following photos.  Many thanks to all involved especially James, whose persistence paid off!.  The place looks great for ourselves and visitors. Galway Girls: With late notice, a group of ladies from BBC, accompanied by Tom D made a day trip to Galway City, by train, to demonstrate the game to Galwegians and visitors on the famed ...
