Omniboules is a mail-list of people who enjoy a game of boules. The League matches are every second Tuesday at 6pm in Queen Square, running from May to September. No experience of captaining, or of playing boules, or of anything else is needed, beyond an ability to hold one\u2019s pint of cider steady in one hand while throwing the boule with the other.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Captaincy mainly involves sending out pre-match reminders to the omniboules mail-list, to check who will be able to come. You should be free to play fairly regularly yourself \u2013 though a jobshare arrangement is possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/omnibus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2016\/04\/Omniboules-Rod-Valentine-IMG_0240.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-50\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/omnibus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2016\/04\/Omniboules-Rod-Valentine-IMG_0240-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Omniboules Rod Valentine IMG_0240\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/omnibus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2016\/04\/Omniboules-Rod-Valentine-IMG_0240-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/omnibus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2016\/04\/Omniboules-Rod-Valentine-IMG_0240-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/omnibus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/113\/2016\/04\/Omniboules-Rod-Valentine-IMG_0240.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for registering in the Bath League is 25th April (next Monday).
