On Friday afternoon, the Bristol Architecture Group organised a Boules (Bodgy) Tournament in Queens Square. It was Architectural week also hence this was the time chosen to have the tournament. A casual affair it was, with about 12 teams entering comprising three players in each. Similar to lawn bowls, however rather than bowling the ball you throw it underarm towards the jack, and whoever gets the closest gets a point, as so on.
Phil in action
Beer in hand doesn't get much better!
After the winning shot
The Apple Cider Boat
Phil was missing from the presentation
We enjoyed some beers along the way, and it is truly a great game when you can throw with one hand, while drinking a beer in the other.
Oh, and yes, we even won the tournament, received a trophy and a bottle of champagne.
Phil, Ali and myself won the first three games to get us to the final, then Phil had to go, so James stepped in and we continued our winning form!
In trust English style, the rain came in thick and fast towards the end and the final was played out in the pouring rain... however with a win we did not mind too much at all!
Afterwards we had a cider at 'the Apple' - a cider boat located on the floating harbour.

It wasn't so much winning the whole thing that I wanted. I think we all just wanted to beat that team we played 3rd. Wow they really were taking it seriously..... hahaha and they still lost.
And we got out of work early... can't complain about that!!!
This is great info to know.
