CALENDAR-WHAT WE'RE DOING.

Portland Pétanque Club

We play all year around, usually at noon on Wednesday and Sundays, weather permitting. 

Email confirmations that we're playing are usually sent using our Yahoo groups site (see Links page).

Our tournaments begin in the Spring and continue into the Fall. Our courts are spacious enough that those not entering a particular tournament can usually still find room to play while it's going on.
