Pickleball
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. AWC
Members are playing this fun and easy to
learn game on an indoor court beginning in
September. Contact Barbara Brookman at
president@awcthehague.org to join a trial
session with the option to join for the season.

Virtual Quiz Night
This month’s Saturday night quiz will
be created and hosted by Suzanne
Dundas. Participants will connect via a link
to a Google Meet video call. Each team will
consist of two people. You can form a team
from your home with a partner or housemate,
or play remotely with another AWC
Member (i.e. you both use Google Meet, but
stay in contact with each other by phone).
Each team should have a pen and paper for
writing down the answers and keeping track
of your scores. There will be three to four
14 GOING DUTCH
rounds with each round having ten questions.
After a round is completed, we will
review the answers as a group and teams
will track their own score. Once all rounds
are completed, we can determine the Grand
Winner! In the event of a tie, a super hard
rocket scientist level question will be used
as a tiebreaker. Food and drinks are essential
to successful game play and will be available
for takeaway from your local kitchen!
Questions? Contact Melissa Rider at
vicepresident@awcthehague.org.

destinations in the area, usually racking
up 10,000 steps along the way. No RSVP
