Our neighbours Michel and Nicole have created a boule-o-drome   next to their garden and last night held the first annual ( we hope) Carlux boules-fest.

 Herewith, therefore, the many and varied positions of boulistes.

The five-year old grandson proved to be the best player of the evening with a great eye and the ability to throw with either arm!

Jean-Louis is a power player and his wife, Denise,at the far end of the pitch, is being warned to get out of the way for fear of having her leg broken.
