Bath League de Petanque was formed in 2003, supported by the Chamber of Commerce and City of Bath College. In the three sweet years since its inception it has gone on from strength to strength. Over 40 teams took part in 2005, representing a varied cross section of local businesses and groups in Bath.

In 2004 the first League trip took place to Aix-en-Provence, one of Bath's twin towns. See Tour to Aix on the Bath Petanque Club website for more details and photos.
