TUESDAYS

Carpet Bowls at 9:30am every Tuesday. No matter what your skill level, even if you can't keep the bowls on the carpet you will meet new friends and enjoy the company of other over 55s. Make sure you are not late as the bowls start rolling at 10:00am.

WEDNESDAYS

Rummikub is a stimulating tile game played on Wednesdays from 9:30am. Stay as long as you like, maybe bring some food and chat to other over 55s during the lunch break. Rummikub is an easy game to learn and we can teach you how to play.
