there is snow. We carpool by meeting

snow!

Evergreen Snooker Club
The Evergreen Snooker Club is
composed of a group of active,
friendly players with skill levels
covering the full spectrum from
learner/beginner to accomplished
player. If you are interested in
learning the game, or have played in
the past and want to get back into it,
please drop by the snooker room.
You will be assured a warm welcome
and a place to try your hand at
one of our three tables. The snooker
room is open weekdays between
9:00 am and 4:00 pm and any other
time the Evergreen Centre may be
open.
The primary focus of the club is
to have fun, build friendships and
socialize. Your snooker skill level is
irrelevant so don’t feel intimidated
if you are a beginner. Prospective
members may visit the club room up
to three times without charge to help
with their decision on whether to
join. While most of the current
members are men, there is a small
group of women who play regularly
(typically on Tuesday mornings) so
ladies, don’t be shy to give it a try.
Membership is available to all
paid-up members of the GWSA on
payment of the prescribed annual
snooker activity fee. The current fee
of $70 (plus tax) buys you access to
the snooker room anytime it is open
and all the snooker you care to play.
Texas Hold’Em
Why not come out and have fun
with us? We are averaging about 16
players a week and are situated in
the Dining Room.
We charge $1.50 per week and
pretty well all of that goes back to
the GWSA. We play from 6:30 to
T S - D 2017 — V. 42, N. 4
8:30 pm.
Each player starts off with $500
in real casino chips and, as we do
not play for money, we work on a
point system; the one with the most
points each week is the winner. We
play until there is only one player
left or 8:30 pm comes, whichever
comes first.
We will gladly teach anyone who
is interested in playing. Just follow
the laughter to find us.
We have about six ladies playing
at present and would always welcome
more; we do not want to become
a men’s club! Remember, you
have to be a member of GWSA to
play.
Walking Club
Our walking club season has come
to an end. Unfortunately we had
some rainy mornings this year but
had many enjoyable walks both in
and out of Guelph. To wind up our
season, we had a delicious pot luck
supper on Thursday, October 19 and
enjoyed some excellent food and
laughter. Thanks to all the helpers
for making it a very enjoyable evening.
Our winter socials will be held on
Thursdays, January 11, February 8
and March 8, 2018 at the Evergreen
Centre from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. Remember
to mark your calendars. If
you have any questions, call Gord or
Brenda. Have a most enjoyable
Christmas and New Year and we
look forward to seeing everyone in
2018.
Watercolour Painters Club
The Evergreen Watercolour Painters
Club provides an opportunity for
watercolour painters to practice
their hobby along with others sharing
the same interest, while encouraging
one another and receiving information,
ideas and inspiration.
While we do not offer classes or
lessons, we welcome accomplished
watercolour painters. There is a
small annual membership fee and
membership with the GWSA is required.
We meet on the 1st and 5th
Wednesday from 12:30 to 4:00 pm
and 3rd Wednesday from 9:30 a.m.
- 4:00 pm in Room 2.
