History

 

Headley & Bordon Pétanque Club owes its existence to the bond between our community’s Conde Link Twinning Association and our French twin town, Conde-Sur-Vire in Normandy. It all began during a weekend twinning visit to Conde in 1991, where we played boules.

 

Inspired by this, a group of enthusiasts decided to meet regularly for recreational play upon their return. Thus, a Pétanque Club was born at The Wheatsheaf in Arford near Headley. Over the years, we’ve become Headley & Bordon Petanque Club and relocated locally several times. Today our home is at Headley Sports Pavilion, Mill Lane, less than a mile away from where we started.
