Browning Hangar Development Normally when the LBC has a tournament at the Browning Hangar we are able to submit a request to reserve the space unless someone else has already reserved it.

Unfortunately, we don't have any details on exactly what is going to happen or when the hangar will be closed, however we have been able to find some plans proposed by the real ..read more

Message from Gary at the NRPC La Chandeleur at NRPC pavilion. Date changed to February 26! This is a jointly hosted event with LBC and the Alliance Française of Austin. The original plan was to hold this at the French Legation, but because of other conflicts, we will hold the event at NRPC which is fine. We plan to break for crepes around 2:30 PM, with open pétanque play before and after.  Attendees are asked to bring a filling for the crepes (either sweet or savory). If you can help out by making some crepes, please email me or Kathy. Thanks. And you are welcome to bring some wine or cid ..read more
