Bocce Ball – Open Play
The “Open Play Bocce” activity is open to all Branch 8 members are welcome and their partners too. This is not really a physically demanding sport, just roll a ball down a court and try to get near a smaller ball to get points. All the Bocce equipment is provided and we will teach you how to play. All you need to do is show up with a hat, water and expect lots of fun and good camaraderie. There are no fees for this activity.
Open Play Bocce is played at Newhall Community Park, 1351 Newhall Parkway, Concord on Friday mornings at 8:30 till 10:30 from May through September. There are 10 courts but we usually only need 3-4.
Hope to see you there!

Sad to say but SIRs Bocce Open Play only has a few more weeks of play at Newhall Park in Concord on Friday mornings at 8:30. There IS still time for members to come on out and show your hidden talents or express your best excuses for bad throws. Hope to see you soon.
