On another “summers day” the Finlay Morrison Memorial Tay Doubles was held at the Perth Petanque Club. With other events taking place around Scotland there was a small turnout for this event with five doubles and one triple making up the teams.

The forecast for the day was rain and this may have contributed to the low turnout. However, a great time was had by those who took part as they splashed around in the puddles.

A new “fanny” had been brought back from Millau by the intrepid foursome and within the first round two of the Perth teams decided that it needed to be “christened” as soon as possible. The “glory” of this went to Jean, Stuart & Steve who were disposed of by John & Chantelle and was quickly followed by Ed & Alice who were beaten by Dani and Marina.
