A delegation from Dalkeith Petanque Club plus two members from Rosslyn counterparts returned from a successful trip to Jarnac having consolidated relations ahead of the 65th anniversary of the towns’ twinning arrangement in July.
The group were greeted by the local Mayor, the Twinning Committee and the Chair of Jarnac Sports Petanque and the programme included a visit to a huge boulodrome where the national games are played as well as the Jarnac club ground where its 70 pistes were hosting 240 players.
A series of matches and practice sessions also took place and a spokesman for the visitors said:
“Overall a great success and we now know personally who each other are and are going to build a relationship not only with pétanque but with the towns of Jarnac and Dalkeith.”
