  .....or, as the French would say, a load of boules.
  
  We are considering forming a local team as we are about to acquire some neighbouring land which may be suitable for use as a pitch. Do any forumites have experience of playing at a club level or know anyone locally who does?

  There is a team in Elham -they have a nice pitch opposite the school-they quite regularly play visiting teams from the Pas de Calais.
