BPPC and QBTC Relationship 

1. In February 2024 BPPC decided to relocate to a space within the Queenscliff Bowling, Tennis, Croquet Club (QBTC) precinct to provide BPPC with a stable, permanent location, which would allow the BPPC to expand.

2. A condition of the relocation is that -all BPPC members must take out and maintain a QBTC Basic Sports - Petanque - membership, in addition to their BPPC membership. 

3. To apply for a QBTC Basic Sports - Petanque - membership you will need to complete a QBTC membership application form and pay the required fee directly to QBTC. 

4. A QBTC Basic Sports - Petanque - membership allows BPPC members to participate as social players of the other sports within QBTC, have voting rights at QBTC meetings and access other club benefits and discounts offered by QBTC.
