[FRENCH] Pour l'instant, vu la difficulté de ce que j'ai écrit, je pense que nous pouvons nous passer de traduction. Un mot cependant, n'hésitez pas à poster, même dans un anglais affreux googlelesque , l'important étant de s'amuser et d'avoir du monde... l'idéal serait d'entamer des discutions entre joueurs de différentes équipes (pas uniquement StClaude-Conflans, vous m'aurez compris ^^)le bar est ouvert, amusez-vous bien...[/FRENCH]
Precision : everything is open to All animals, even racoons, as long as they don't go in the middle of a field during a match . Don't feed the animals. HRP : don't mix up RP and HRPPART 2
The Old Man came and I said himOld Man, draw me a sheep...err... no, i didn't tell him that... this was not me, i'm quite sure of it...It must have been rather ...Old man, please, tell me a story...And the Old man sat under the Oak tree, and he told me a story. 
Today, I'll tell you the story of Soule, as far as I remember...
Once upon a time, as a queen sits sewing at her window, she pricks her finger on her needle and a drop of blood falls on the snow that had fallen on her ebony window frame. As she looks at the blood on the snow, she says to herself, "Oh, how I wish that I had a daughter that had skin white as snow, lips red as blood, and hair black as ebony".
errr... nonononono... I'm mistaken again... that's not that story...In 1453, M. Arthur33, in Peronne, thought of the idea in the halle, with 3 other peoples. They went to their cities, in Normandy (Fécamp & Honfleur) to find 10 more players...and on the 10 March of 1453, the first match of Soule normande began. It was a great event. More and more, the soule spread. It became, from the "normande soule", the "royal soule", but everybody now refer at it saying the "soule", simply.
Now the rules are well established, and there are 139 teams...which have played more than 750 matches !
Unfortunately (
sigh), the soule has never managed to go well abroad from France. Few teams were created, and many of them gave up...
The major event of the soule is the Royal Cup. There were 3 Cups :
The first took place a long time ago, and i just remember that Chateauroux won it... The second was won by Polignac...and the third by Conflans...
The fourth will begin on next September, so if you want take part in it, don't wait too much to create a team...
In another world, that some people refer by saying "real world",( which is absurd,the real world is our world) the soule really existed the goal was to put a ball by all means in a place defined before the match, and the field could be everything ! (ex : goal : a fireplace in a city, by the top of the roofs !).
It is likely that the haspartum roman is the ancestor of the soule, ancestor of the rugby.
Usually, the game finished because there was only one player capable of moving.
It was also usual that the public helped the players.
If you want to see a match of soule as played in the RK, you can wait some days to see all the matchs we will play in Keswick, or look for a match in the French forum, or look to the
Archives(french)The principal place of the soule is here :
https://soulenormande.forumactif.com/(in french, but you can ask for help in english, and some people will help you)
Why would we play soule ?That's a good question. you can play soule a)for fun, or b)for fun, or just c)for fun.
Just enjoy.
Howto play soule ? First, find 11 players froom your town. Then ask for help at the place named above. But in short,
(cause weapons are not allowed, except if specified before)
Good evening.

Je rappele que les règles de ce forum supposent d'apposer une traduction ANGLAISE de votre message, même si vous le prononcez en français.

I expected more people here...I'm a bit disappointed... but this is a start...PART 3
The man i waited for arrived this morning, by boat. He has been delayed by the bad weather in the Channel, and by the people who were at the borders... He was in a hurry, since someone waited for him in Bulgaria, so he gave me the box with the cup... I looked at it... the announcement was true, it was really
beautiful. I thought of the happiness of the winner... but also of the sadness of the three other teams... so I came to the artisans of Keswick, gave them some beers (quite a lot) , a little fake money, and the next day, I shoutedLadies and gentlemen, the winner of the International Cup will win this cup :
And the three other teams will win differents boxes :
The second team will, thanks to the blacksmith, win a sword in order to revenge from the first team
The third team will win a boat, thanks to the carpenters, to go home quickly to train better
The worst team will win a ... a piece of bread, offered by the bakers[/quote
