is based at The Burnt Post, Kenpas Highway (A45 southbound at its junction with Wainbody Avenue North), Coventry CV3 6AW. Our club night is Friday, with a weekly competition game starting at 7.15 p.m., followed by social games. On the first Friday evening of every month, we hold an open melee (new partners in every round) for members, guests and visitors alike and also, from May until Autumn, we have melees at 10.30 a.m. on the first and third Tuesdays in the month when visitors are also welcome. We also hold Sunday melees approx once a month when all are welcome. The terrain can provide up to 8 lanes for competitions and has floodlighting to allow play all year round. We enter teams in the West Midlands Summer League, the Inter-Club Tournament and the National Knockout and members also enter the Regional Pairs and Triples competitions, plus local competitions throughout the year. Some members have represented the West Midlands Region at national level and England at international level. We are keen to attract new members of all ages, especially at the younger end of the age spectrum (free club membership for under-18's),  The Burnt Post pub offers an excellent range of real ales and also has an extensive menu, with food served from midday to 9pm If you would like more information, please contact: Club secretary, John Baxter on 02476 419301 or jbaxter@tesco.net Club coach, Brian Stote, on 02476 717845. or brianstote@gmail.com See below the calendar for Coventry’s social events Coventry Petanque Club Date Event Location Comments January Sun. 8th.
