Valley Club in Harrogate were delighted to welcome a number of BN members to their recent BN Boules Taster Day.
An abundance of cake helped fuel the players through a morning of tuition under the expert guidance of Nigel, the club’s Sports Secretary, before a closely fought singles tournament which saw Caroline crowned winner.
Club members were delighted to have the opportunity to show off their extensive grounds and to welcome visitors to the event
Visitor Nick Holland said "I had a wonderful time at the boules day at Valley Sun Club. I'd never played before, but expert tuition was on hand and I even managed to pick up a point or two (before losing) in the tournament. I enjoyed it so much that I immediately hopped online and bought my own boules. The weather was glorious, but the greeting from all at the club was even warmer - a fabulous Naturist club in beautiful surroundings filled with friendly, welcoming people (and cake). What more could anyone want?” These sentiments were echoed by Paul, who added “My first time at Valley Club and trying boules. Both were great - very friendly and a lot of fun. Many thanks to Nigel for his patient tutoring. A brilliant day. Try it!”
