Mah Jongg
Mah Jongg is a popular tile-based game
of Chinese origin. This exciting game is
similar to the card game, Rummy. We
will play the international version with
144 tiles with no scoring. Be prepared
for a game of strategy and luck that will
quickly become addictive! We will begin
with an introduction of the basic rules
and hands. All beginners and experienced
players are welcome at any time. Once
the group is established, beginners can
join and learn from doing. Please join us
as this game is simply good fun. For more
information and to RSVP, contact Jen van
Ginhoven at activities@awcthehague.org.

Pickleball is a sport that combines elements
from tennis, badminton and table
tennis. It is played with a paddle and light
ball in a badminton-sized court. It is a
friendly sport for all age groups and levels!
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport
in the US and is exploding in popularity
internationally. The AWC is now trying to
form its own Pickleball League with AWC

how to play. Contact Barbara Brookman

January: Chili Cook-Off
The annual AWC Chili Cook-Off took a
hiatus last year, but now it’s back. Join in
the competition by bringing your best chili
in a crockpot, hot and ready to share with
Members who will vote to determine the
best in the bunch. Get creative as chili can
be meatless, spicy, white, or have a surprise
ingredient. Contestants get in free,
but partners pay € 12 to cover extra food
items, drinks and prizes. We need judges,
so come even without a pot of chili. Come
enjoy a warm bowl of chili with all of the
fixings on a cold January Saturday night.
