PETANQUE: WCTA JOINS THE ‘GREAT XII’
A triumphant triumvirate of Tax Advisers secured the Company a richly deserved place amongst the ‘great XII’ (petanque-playing) livery companies … when they came joint 12th in the recent Inter-Livery Petanque Competition held at the London Petanque Club Ground at Battersea Pleasure Gardens.
A full entry of 32 teams from across the City Livery entered and, after beating the Cooks, the Tax Adviser’s team narrowly lost 6-5 to the Merchant Taylors. A friendly finale resulted in a draw against the Needlemakers, with much friendly banter and camaraderie shown throughout the evening.
Will Hess and James Carr provided much needed skill to the team, which was lead by Marcus Fincham.
The monies raised by this charitable event are donated to the Lord Mayor’s Appeal.
