  • The Half Crown PC is based in the village of Stockton deep in the heart of Warwickshire. We are very active in promoting and enjoying the game of pétanque. We play socially, seriously, internationally (through our exchanges with Pétanque clubs from France and Germany), but most importantly, we have fun.

    Our facilities are extremely good, with eight international-sized terrains and the ability to host competitions of up to 24 teams very comfortably.  We are attached to a thriving pub – The Crown Inn – which gives us all the facilities we need, including a top notch restaurant, bar snacks, fine wines and real ales, as well as club house facilities for our social events.

    On the social side we play every Saturday from 11am and on Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm, and welcome newcomers to join in. We can lend you some boules, instruct you in rules of the game and ensure that you have an interesting experience, whether you are 8 or 80 years old.

    If you want to know more about the Half Crown Pétanque Club give John Emberton a call on 01926 814267, visit us at The Crown Inn, Stockton or visit our web site: www.halfcrownpetanque.org.uk

  • Whitnash Windmill Pétanque Club is one of the newest and most progressive pétanque clubs in the country. In our short history we have grown to over 40 members strong.

    The Club is based at the Whitnash Sports and Social Club . We have recently completed work on a new 17m x 30m floodlit terrain, although the lights are awaiting connection and certification. In addition to this we have an additional 17m x 22m temporary terrain adjacent to the new facility providing us with an extremely large facility available for play all year round.

    The Club is registered with the West Midlands region of the English Pétanque Association and is active in all of the local leagues. We promote two open competitions each year and a number of social competitions and inter-club events as well as our club nights and club championships.

    The Whitnash Sports and Social Club has excellent facilities available with a fully licensed bar and other club rooms. There are already table tennis, tennis, senior and junior football, bowls and netball sections which have been established at the Club for many years.
