South Hants and Charnwood

As you probably know South Hants is no more.  Its gone and so has a massive piece of history for miniten.  For years South Hants hosted the first and the last tournaments each year and, even though prices went commercial, the turnout remained good.  It's a shame to see it go.

Also this year was the last year (until the courts are "refurbished"...don't hold your breath) at Charnwood Acres that we will be able to play a tournament.  Although always welcoming, the courts have got to such a state that even petanque players will think twice!

New Web address

I will be changing the web address to www.miniten.info at sometime during 2008.  The www.amateurminitenassociation.co.uk address should still work - but I will drop that when renewal is up.  I am looking to try to get one of the following:

www.miniten.co.uk

www.miniten.com

www.miniten.net

Will keep you posted

News Update 2007

Sorry for the lack of updates through 2006 and 2007, work commitments and new computers have stopped me from being able to regularly update the site.

Hopefully I can do this more regularly now, but would be very happy to hear if anyone else wants to add anything.

2005 was a very sad year for the Miniten Circuit.

Brian and Bernie - both from Diogenes both passed away.  Both had contributed so much to the success of Miniten over the years and they will be sorely missed.  Our thoughts are with their family and friends.
