Bocce Ball Bonanza!

Please read carefully. This will be a very short walk followed by Bocce Ball Bonanza! We will meet outside the Omni Hotel at 5:30 but leave at 5:40 (grace period) and do our very short walk over to the Bocce Courts near Aquatic Park. The walk is optional and people can meet us at the Bocce Courts if they wish.

2 of our members have Bocce Ball equipment that they will bring, and 1 of our members will bring Pétanque equipment. Bocce Ball is Italian in origin and Pétanque is the French version. So we can have some friendly competition; Italy vs France!

Please bring food and drink to share and consider bringing Italian or French wine so we can continue the competition on that end too!

It is recommended that you bring food and drink to the start but I will route the walk near the TJ's at Northpoint in case some people want to drop off the walk to shop and meet us at the courts. Bring a cup or prepare to purchase one. We should arrive at the courts around 6:15 ish.

I looked into reserving the Bocce courts, but can't figure out out how to do that, but the word is that no one is ever there. So we should be good, but there are no guarantees.

Hope to see you there!

Please note: Phone help is not available for latecomers. If you are late it is very hard to catch up with us. We walk at a medium pace. Escorts or sweeps are not provided, so slower walkers should be completely prepared to finish the hike on their own if they become separated from the group, and they may want to consider bringing a friend to walk with them. I reserve the right to make small changes to the route as needed.
