24 (Continued from page 22) lot more fun going on field trips when the ground is dry and the ice is gone. This was especially true in May when our monthly theme was farm animals. Our May “field trip” didn’t take us far afield. We stayed in town and experienced the ambience of Woodlawn Cemetery. It is very much alive with memories of our city’s rich history. You’ll find some of our photos on our website: at https://intofocus.smugmug.com/. Our theme for June is “water”. Guelph and Wellington County are fortunate to have two scenic rivers flowing through them. We’ll be out photographing them, and the very many other ways in which water touches our lives. We are a friendly group of amateur photographers with equipment ranging from mobile phones and point and shoot cameras to fancy DSLR models. We share a common interest in photography as a hobby and we learn from each other. New members are always welcome. Our regular meetings are on the last Monday of every month. If you are interested in joining, contact Jean McClelland by e- mail: jeanmcclelland@rogers.com.

It’s a great way to meet new people and have fun while learning. More information and brochures will be available in August. T S - J/J/A 2019 — V. 43, N. 10 Pickleball Pickleball is a sport in which four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications. This sport is for people of all ages who are looking for some fun, laughter, socialization and exercise. It’s easy to learn, but can be challenging for those with a competitive nature. All levels of skill invited. Pickleball equipment is provided. Scrabble Our Scrabble group meets Thursdays from 1:00 pm to 3:45 pm at the tables in the Evergreen Hallway near the Library. Cost is $1.00 per visit. We play relaxed but challenging games using the Scrabble Dictionary 6 th Edition as our reference. Skill levels range from beginner to advanced. Come play at whatever table you wish. Enjoy a laugh, score a Bingo if you can, and learn a new word or two with other word lovers! Shuffleboard Come on out and join our group. Enjoy some gentle exercise, friendship and fun. Membership is available to all paid-up GWSA members for a $10 fee every six months. You also have the option of paying $1.00 per game. Register the first time you play. Beginners are welcome and instruction is available. The group plays Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Silvertones The Silvertones Choir was formed in 1980 and now boasts over 55 members. The mixed group of seniors share the love of singing - songs old and new. They also love to entertain with their singing and to spread cheer. Having completed a very successful winter program of singouts in local retirement homes, etc., the choir is now on its summer break. It will reconvene on Friday, September 6, at 1:00 pm and will be working on the Christmas Ceilidh - this year’s variety show - amongst other things. For more information on joining the choir, contact Doreen Muir at 519-831-8323. Skiing The ski season is over for 2019. For the 2020 ski season, it costs $10.00 plus HST to join the Everwhite Ski Club. You register and pay for the Downhill Ski Club at the front desk of the Evergreen Centre. It helps to own a 5-7 Pass purchased from Blue Mountain well before the start of the 2020 ski season. Every Monday, we carpool by meeting at the lower Evergreen Parking Lot by the Enabling Garden at 8:00 am, drive to Blue Mountain, and return to Guelph by 6:00 pm. Contact Shane Hamilton, 519- 824-8001, for Ski Club information. 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.
