After more than a full season “playing away”, the two Rye and District u3a boules groups have their piste back on the Strand.
A very big thank you to the Environment Agency for replacing the old piste (pitch) with a beautifully constructed surface, both for the regular teams and occasional other boules, or pétanque players, to use. And a special “thank you” to Andy and his team, who actually constructed the piste.
The Strand Quay works are coming to an end and the quay is starting to come back into its own, as a special part of the Rye scene.
The u3a teams hope to play a game against a team from the Environment Agency, and we shall report on that when it happens.

Congratulations to all those who have worked on the Strand project. It is great to see it open again and the Boule court so nicely reinstated. Are there going to be any more seats provided? I think this will be a popular area to sit and enjoy. Also, is there any chance of some trees being planted? That would make an excellent addition to this area.
