GWSA Group & Activity Reports ALL Activity Groups require that you MUST have an up-to-date GWSA Membership to participate 15 Art in the Hall The Art in the Hall project is mandated to display good art work in the halls of the Evergreen Centre. The art for February is produced by Anne Johnson until February 10 and then for the rest of the month by the “Art Studio in 2 Club.” If you are interested in having your work in a solo exhibition, or if you are interested in having a few pieces of your work as part of a group display at the Evergreen Centre in 2018, contact Ted Pritchard at 519 826-6121 or tpritcha@rogers.com by the end of February, 2018. If you are interested in sitting on the Art in the Hall Committee for selecting art for display at the Evergreen Centre, and assisting with the hanging of the art, also contact Ted. Art Studio in 2 Art Studio in 2 is an art group working out of Room 2 at the Evergreen Centre on alternate Tuesday evenings from 6:30 pm until 9:30 pm starting the first week of the month and on alternate Wednesday afternoons from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm starting the second week of the month. The artists in this club choose their own media to work with, examples of which are acrylic painting, Bunka, drawing, pastels, porcelain painting, printmaking, stitchery/textile arts, watercolour painting and others. Artists will need to provide all the materials they need to complete their work and be prepared to share their technique and insights with other artists. The membership in Art Studio in 2 is limited to 24 and yearly membership costs $27.00 including HST, in addition to the GWSA membership. If you are interested in joining Art Studio in 2 for 2018, contact Ted Pritchard at 519-826-6121 or tpritcha@rogers.com in the month of January. Badminton Our Badminton Club welcomes all, from beginners to experienced and competitive players. Join us as many as 6 times a week for friendly, active games and competition at two locations. We play at the West End Community Centre on Monday and Wednesday afternoons at 1:00 pm. At the Evergreen Centre, play is on Tuesday evening at 7 pm, Thursday at 9 am, Friday at 10 am and Sunday afternoons at 1:15 pm. We do our best to keep members alerted of any changes to our times. Racquets are available for shortterm loan and players require indoor court shoes. Your membership fee covers participation at both locations. We allow 3 free visits to give you a chance to discover if you are able and will enjoy this very active sport. The yearly fee is $60.00 For further information regarding our activities and membership, contact Eleanor Stern at 519-837-2702.

NEW - Book Club 2 This group, made up of people on the waitlist for the first book club, will meet in the Boardroom on the third Friday of each month from 1:00 to 2:30 pm. The fee is $3/visit. Bridge We invite all bridge players to come and join us in a friendly game of bridge. We play three times a week as follows: Monday at the West End in the Lions Lair from 12:45 until 3:15 pm. Tuesday at the Evergreen in Room 3 from 6:45 pm until 9:15 pm. Thursday at the Evergreen in Room 3 from 12:30 pm until 3:30 pm. We hope you will come out and have a friendly game with us; we will be delighted to welcome you. Bunka Bunka embroidery is created by using a unique combination of punch needle and special silk-like rayon thread (yarn). When completed, many pictures resemble delicately shaded paintings. In fact, the needle is held and operates in much the same manner as an artist’s brush or pencil. The Bunka artist uses many different stitch techniques in order to achieve the desired effect of depth and interest, but unlike other forms of needle art, there are no knots to tie and mistakes are easily corrected. This group is for all skill levels and meets every Wednesday from 9:15 a.m. to noon. Canasta - NEW Come join us for a game of Canasta. New or experienced players are welcome. We meet in the Evergreen hallway every Wednesday at 1:00 pm. Cost is $1.50. Our president is Sharyn Richards. Let her know if you have any comments.
