Adur Open Autumn Triples

 You may have read Jeff Taylor’s report on the previous page of playing alongside Ray Ager and Tony Mann in this competition. The competition was also to be a fundraiser for the EPA Ladies Team that was to be representing England at the Ladies World Championships in Thailand this year. Debbie Elcombe of Adur PC is one of the members of the ladies team. Unfortunately it was announced before the start that the England Ladies Team would not now be going to Thailand. This was a surprise to all those present but the competition went ahead none the less.

 
It was a 5 round snake competition which is where each team plays 5 games always against different opponents (3 in the morning, lunch, then a further 2). Jeff was the first pointer, Ray played middle and Tony was the shooter. They got off to a great start winning all of their morning games. After lunch their form continued with a further win. In their final game they were up against Debbie Elcombe’s team and unfortunately they lost this match.

This was only the 2nd year of these awards and is a celebration of the most elite and hard-working sports performers in Brighton & Hove. It gives local people a chance to be acknowledged for achievements and successes within the field of sport.
Brighton & Hove Pétanque Club were nominated and then shortlisted for the Active for Life Participation Award. This award recognises the work of a community group or club that has made an extra effort in 2009 to reach out and encourage new participants to become active and get involved in community sport or physical activity. The award may serve to recognise a particular project/initiative that has attracted a lot of new members to an activity, or one that has sought to encourage and enable people who face the most barriers to become more active.

The awards were held in the wonderful surroundings of the Old Market in Hove and attended by various Councillors, the Mayor, the new Chief Executive of Brighton & Hove, staff from the Sport & Leisure team of the Council and various representatives of the community based sports and activity clubs in our city. Representing BHPC were Ray Ager, Pat Connolly, Terry Gibbons and Tony Mann. Read the rest of this entry »
