Stockton Pétanque Club is based in the village of Stockton deep in the heart of Warwickshire, a very old village in a lime quarrying area which is famous for the prehistoric Ichthyosaurus that was discovered in the early 1900s, and now has pride of place in The British Museum.

The object of the Club is to promote the game of Pétanque, in accordance with the rules and regulations set out by the Fédération Internationale de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (FIPJP) and the European governing body, the Confédération Européenne de Pétanque (CEP), through affiliation with the Heart of England Pétanque Association (HoEPA) and Pétanque England (PE), by providing facilities for the sport of Pétanque, coaching members in the skills of the game and holding Club competitions and social events for its members.

Pétanque (sometimes called French Boules) is a sport that is enjoyed by all the family, it can be played for fun in the garden or more seriously up to World Championship level. Our serious playing involves participation in local (Heart of England) leagues, National Leagues, Regional Competitions and National Competitions, such as the PE Triples Qualifiers from which representatives to play for England are selected.
