Winter Activities
We have a full slate of winter activities planned. Please consider the following for your winter social calendar.
Monday:
Mahjong is open to club members and the public so please feel free to invite friends and relatives to join us. We will be playing the Chinese version of Mahjong. It is important to realize that this game bears no similarity to the games played on the internet. The season for veteran players will begin on Monday, November 6th at 7:00 p.m. Please arrive a few minutes early.
If you have never played Mahjong before or you would like to refresh your skills, or if you have played the American version and would like to learn the Chinese version, we will be providing 3 weeks of instruction beginning on Monday, October 16th.
Coordinaor: Murray Sinclair
Tuesday, Friday and Sunday:
Short Mat: Times are 1:00 – 3:00
For those members who are wondering what short mat is all about, now is your opportunity to find out.
No ongoing commitment required. We also contribute 25 cents a session which allows us to hold a get together at the end of the season. Last year it was a pizza party.
For the Information Meeting, the mats will be setup so we can explain what the various areas on the mats are, a few of the basic rules, suggested stance and delivery styles.
You will have the opportunity to deliver some bowls if you so desire.
Please wash your bowls before coming to remove any chemicals from them that they may have picked up from the green. Don’t put any polish or wax on them as that will absorb into the mats.
If you will be using Club bowls please arrive a little early so you can wash and dry them before we begin.
Coordinator: Garry Steele

Could that be #007???
Chuck Benson, our ace photographer, was out the other day and captured this great picture of what initially was though to be James Bond tumbling down to earth in a parachute, However, upon further investigation, it was clarified that
our sometimes bar tender, ex-British naval fellow and generally all round good guy Tex Gooding was parachuting to earth to celebrate his 80th birthday. Apparently it was a little bit more than 80, but COVID seemed to mess up the math a bit. All in all, Tex…a pretty cool way to celebrate your special day.
Week of August 21 – 27, 2023
Battle of the Sexes – September 20 & 21, 2023

Our final Fun Day event of the season will be held on Monday, September 4th. Please have your tags in by 12:45. There will be a short skills contest on the green followed by an 8 end game featuring mystery scoring surprises for each end.

The Friday loonie/toonie Draw will be 12 ends until further notice. This change is due to the high temperatures.
Thank you, Mick.
Baking Update
Thanks to all the members that rallied to my call for cakes and cookies to replenish the stock. The response was unbelievable. We are now very much replenished and the freezers are bursting at the seams. This stock should, I hope, last for some time so you can all take some time off.
Many thanks again, Vicki
