Join Pétanque North West

We run our membership in line with the national governing body, Pétanque England. Membership runs from April to the end of March the following year, giving you 12 months of pétanque action to enjoy and benefit from.

As a non-member of PNW, the region still organises and runs a small number of pétanque competitions each year, open to anyone wanting to participate. While this may sound appealing, being a PNW member ensures you don't miss out on even more playing opportunities the region offers. Additionally, as a PNW member, you have the option to compete for a place in the regional squad. This gives you the chance to play at a higher level and possibly travel to the Pétanque England Inter-Regionals.

No, you don't automatically get a place in the regional team. To secure your spot, you'll need to train consistently, demonstrate the right sporting attitude and commitment, and perform well in the qualification rounds. Only then can you fight for your place in the team.

Yes, joining Pétanque England is a great idea! It's just £25 a year (not per month), and with that, you'll receive a licence that allows you to play at clubs and competitions both in the UK and internationally. Taking out a Pétanque England licence is also your way to become a PNW member.
