ANNUAL COUNTY BOULES COMPETITION AT BOSCOWEN PARK IN TRURO
No matter if you are a regular player, you don't pick up a boule from one year to the next - or if you have never turned your hand to this typical French passtime. Come along to our annual boules competition in Boscowen Park in June and join in the fun. You will meet up with twinners from all over the county and certainly have a laugh along the way. The setting is superb, the company convivial - and sometimes the weather turns out nice too!
