The Grampians Pétanque Club conducts two major tournaments each year, in Autumn and Spring. These are well supported by clubs from Melbourne and Adelaide as well as clubs in regional and rural Victoria and South Australia.
These events regularly attract 60 to 80 players and the numbers are growing as word of a great social day out spreads through the pétanque community.
