Gong-Cha Cha

Lovely folk to be found at the Wollongong Petanque Club.  Highly skilled and very friendly, the chance to have a throw whilst away was much appreciated.  

Arienne and Isabel have played internationally with considerable success, so it was great to chance the arm against such experience and talent. 

Remy (seated) was delighted when he and I bested the two ladies as he is married to Isabel.  (in front of Arienne) Apparently we were lucky to play them in the first game before the gals had warmed up. Ross (standing) was so helpful and supportive as befits a Petanque  "El Presidente". 

The pétanque pistes are next to the German Club where we took lunch and a stein of beer.

I didn't encounter any wait staff who looked like this. Perhaps Sundays are a day off. .
