When we started our postcard-collection here at petanque.org we were very pleased to have more than 100 cards online. But that was a long time ago, now we have passed the magic number: 1000!
Jac Verheul is the man behind our postcard-collection. He has been collection postcards related to petanque for more years than most of you have been playing petanque.
Every holliday he goes off to France to dive into stores selling old books and postcards, and he has generously shared his entire collection of postcards with the world here at petanque.org.
Not only do we thank Jac Verheul for this magnificent collection, but we also extend our heartily thanks to Mrs. Verheul. What she does when Jac in inside all the bookstores we have no idea, but without her generosity the collection would we a lot smaller.
We have done some redesigning here, and things are starting to look a bit more like 2013. The last change was back in 2005, and that was our 5th redesign. So here we are in the middle of our 6th change since 1996.
FInally there is a petanque-app for the android-users out there. And it is free. The perfect xmas-present perhaps?
We have set up a system that will publish 2 new postcards to twitter every day from petanque.org. It will not work forever of course, in only 2,5 years we will start with re-runs of cards we have already previously published on Twitter . We do have a lot of petanque-postcards here.
We have a very nice collection of postcards here on petanque.org, and all of them are about petanque of course. Currently we have more than 1750 postcards available for your enjoyment.
The world wide petanque and boule community, by and for users.
