Among the other people present, some came to get information about becoming a member, like Claude and his wife: “I need to do an activity to get moving. I like pétanque and I used to do it. »
A seven-month job
After discovering the extent of the grounds, the president of Montebourg pétanque invited the mayor to cut the symbolic ribbon. “The idea for this bowling alley came from Greg, who told me that I was no longer doing anything at the associative level and that I could get back into it by creating this pétanque court. For 7 months, I have been looking for patrons and partners,” says Michel Roussel.
Description of the land and practical information
With a surface area of 1,200 m2, the new bowling alley installed near the Docteur-Le Cacheux stadium has no less than thirteen courts of 15 x 4 m as well as four courts of 13 x 3 m.

Different sections will be set up: leisure, young people, FFPJP licensees and disabled pétanque. “There will need to be a manager for each section. We are expecting as many licensees as possible,” says the president.
“Congratulations to the president for putting this associative activity in place. Thanks to everyone who donated their time. I would like to point out that the municipality did not participate in the financing,” indicates the mayor.
“Thank you for starting a new club in the Channel. Welcome to new licensees. The advantage of Montebourg is that it is central. Good and long life to pétanque”, conclude the representatives of the Fédé.
