Chris Guitton, a person of exceptional talent, active in many organizations, helped Michelle structure the club in 2011. Chris passed away in 2016. To honor his memory the club awards the Chris Guitton trophy to the winners of its annual League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Initially comprised of eight members, the club has grown to more than eighty members of diverse backgrounds, making it among the largest in the United States. The club is affiliated with the sport\u2019s national association, the Federation of Petanque U.S.A., Inc., which represents around 50 petanque clubs across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The club organizes casual play during the week, and sponsors leagues and tournaments throughout the year. Club members also participate in tournaments hosted by other clubs in the region, and several have arranged for play in Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Through playing petanque and related activities, the club provides an enjoyable way for people new to Edmonds and long-term residents alike to meet and spend time together. Members often form new friendships that soon extend to other endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">The club enjoys the support of many local merchants, and hosts an annual\u00a0 tournament to benefit the Edmonds Food Bank. It works closely with the City, the Edmonds Chamber of Commerce, local schools and other organizations to serve the community while promoting the sport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Having petanque courts located at 6th and Bell in downtown Edmonds has fueled growth of the club.\u00a0 That will continue after renovation of the site into the City&#8217;s new Civic Playfield is completed in June 2023.\u00a0 The club contributed to the design of a new and larger petanque grove within Civic Playfield. Members eagerly await the opportunity to play for both fun and competition at the new and expanded courts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243;

As a cousin to Italian bocce or English lawn bowling, petanque challenges players to toss steel \u201cboules\u201d closer than their opponents to a small wooden ball called the \u201ccochonnet.\u201d The current game was invented in 1910 at a cafe in the Provence region of southern France, where in the local language <\/span><span>pieds tanqu\u00e9s<\/span><span> means \u201cfixed feet.\u201d As the story goes, good friends adopted a more mobile version of the game, requiring an active run-up, in order to accommodate a good friend whose movement had been restricted by illness. In this way, petanque was born. Indeed, each player in turn must stand inside a marked circle and attempt to throw his or her ball closer to the target cochonnet. That seems simple enough, but every moment of every game is unique. Petanque is played on a gravel surface, and the terrain itself may be uneven. Opponents block one\u2019s best shots or even remove a well-placed ball by \u201cshooting\u201d it away from the target with a strategic arching toss through the air. Luck plays a definite role in any game, but skills of \u201cpointing\u201d close to the target or \u201cshooting\u201d as described may be honed over time. Games are played between two individuals or by teams of two or three players each. The inexpensive game requires only a modest investment in equipment that will last for years. Most important, petanque offers a fun chance to meet with new and old friends, practice one\u2019s skills, and enjoy the day.<\/span><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Rules of Petanque&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.edmondspetanqueclub.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/EPC-2023-League-Rules-2.pdf&#8221; link_option_url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>The <a href=\"https:\/\/fipjp.org\/images\/2021\/reglements\/Official_Rules_Petanque-En.pdf\">international rules of petanque<\/a> are determined by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de P\u00e9tanque et Jeu Proven\u00e7al.
