The Jean-Colin sports hall was inaugurated on Friday, November 19, in the presence of the associations that will be the main users: the Pétanque lamballaise and the Compagnie des Archers du Penthièvre. Philippe Hercouet, the mayor of Lamballe Armor, recalled the merits of these installations approved to host official competitions.
Tribute to Jean Colin and Jacques Leblanc
“Jacques Leblanc’s name now appears on the building’s launch pad. He was a faithful servant of the Archers lamballais ”declared, Armelle Scavennec, president of the departmental archery committee. Philippe Hercouet underlined the commitment of “Jeannot” Colin, who died in 2020, within the Pétanque lamballaise. “He carried this project for several years, which is why his name rightly appears on this hall of skill sports”.
The cost of this construction amounts to € 774,020 excluding tax, subsidized to the tune of € 210,000 by the Departmental Council. As a reminder, the start of the works dates back to November 2019, and their completion in February 2021. The hall covers 1,600 m² covered, and houses sixteen indoor pétanque courts, and 48 outdoors, as well as a archery. It has a 90 m² convivial space and a shared office.
