BRANDESBURTON PETANQUE CLUB

Welcome to Brandesburton Petanque Club website. Over the last few years our club has been in doubt for it's future existence due to an ongoing dispute with Brandesburton AFC. The dispute concered the expansion of the football club's facilities, including a new club house and an all weather pitch. This would involve the removing of the existing Petanque club facilities including club house and terrains after 30 years in existence. I'm glad to report that after a few years of bad feelings between the two club's we are now in discussions to work together to reach a compromise for the existence of both Brandesburton AFC and Brandesburton Petanque club at Catwick Lane.

Since the club was formed we have increased our facilities.

2013 we obtained a grant from Lissett Community Wind Farm Fund and we purchased a portacabin and thanks to some of our members, after renovations it became our new club house complete with a new kitchen and seating area.

2017 the club house was rewired and new lighting was installed inside and outside with extra power points.

2017 we obtained a grant from the Peoples Post Code Lottery for the installation of flood lights to the first terrain to allow members to continuing playing when light failed during the winter months.

2017 we obtained a grant from the Community Land Fill Tax (Sandsfield Gravel Ltd) to purchase a toilet block. With the arrival of the toilet block we also obtained a generator to power the above.

2019 we applied again to the Community Land Fill Tax (Sandsfield Gravel Ltd) to allow us to apply for permanent electricity supply.

2021 we in conjunction with the football club installed a Defibrillator with the help of a grant from Humber Aid.

2022 we completed work to improve the safety and accessibility of the site. The work included the construction of an area of hard standing with ramps to the terrains and wheelchair accessible furniture. Additional floodlights have also been installed that will allow extended playing times especially when daylight hours are reduced.

We are grateful to the Sandsfield Gravel Co. Community Fund for its financial support.

The above Improvements were made in early 2022.

You're never to young to play boules.
