WELCOME!!
Ballater Boules Challenge
The ONLY UK boules group who play continuously throughout the whole winter period in ANY weather conditions.
This is the official web site of The Ballater Boules Challenge. The 'Challenge' takes place fortnightly on a Sunday at 10.30am meeting at The Pavilion, Monaltrie Park, Ballater, Aberdeenshire, SCOTLAND from November to March each year where ample pistes are available for play.
The delightful village of Ballater is located alongside the picturesque River Dee on Royal Deeside in the Scottish Highlands. The village is approximately 8 miles from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II summer retreat Balmoral Castle and within the scenic Cairngorms National Park.
The game of Boules originating in France is now played worldwide by all ages. The favourite outdoor winter game of Ballater has always been curling and indeed is still played regularly when the weather provides sufficient low temperatures to create the correct surface.
Due to the change in climate and local interest The Ballater Boules Challenge has been introduced to 'fill in' when curling is unable to be played. Our web site will be kept very simple (like the game of Boules!) it will provide a flavour of our gatherings at Monaltrie Park by providing images, results and reports of events.
