A Message from our President
I am very pleased to welcome you to the website of the Southern Counties Pétanque Association.
The SCPA is one of fifteen regions that are affiliated to the English Pétanque Association. Our Association has well over 400 members and well over 20 Clubs to be found across Hampshire, West Sussex, Dorset as well as parts of Surrey and Wiltshire.
I am pleased to report that 2011 was a successful year for the Southern Counties Pétanque Association and its members. We were runners-up in both the EPA Inter-Regional Championship and Challenge Competition held at Pontins, Brean Sands last September and a number of our members have won EPA National titles and a number, including Juniors, have represented the EPA in International competitions and International Invitation Events.
What I really like about pétanque is that it is a very social game which gives our members the opportunity to take part in organised league matches and a variety of other competitions throughout the year. These include competitions for regional titles, competitions to select our representatives at an annual Inter-Regional Championship and Open competitions hosted and organised by individual Clubs. Within our membership we have adults and juniors ranging from total beginners to those who have gained International honours in our sport.
Whether you have played before or not you will find the same warm welcome at all of our Clubs and you will be able to find one based near you on our list of Affiliated Clubs. Whatever your ability you will be helped and encouraged to play and enjoy our exceptionally social sport.Bernie Miles
