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.
Due to coronavirus uncertainty, nothing is
definite, but we hope that AWC Members
will be playing this fun and easy to learn
game on an indoor court beginning on
January 21―see eNews or Facebook for
updates. Contact Barbara Brookman at
president@awcthehague.org to join a trial
session with the option to join for the season.

Virtual Quiz Night
Join us for a fun time of quizzical questions
to test your trivial and general knowledge
on a variety of topics including but not limited
to: art and music, geography and travel,
movies and actors, sports, literature, history,
etc. This month’s quiz will be devised
by the Rider family and hosted by Melissa
Rider. Participants will connect via a link
to a Google Meet video call. Each team
will consist of two people. You can form
14 GOING DUTCH
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 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. Please
RSVP by January 29, so you are sent a confirmation
email with details on how to join
the Google Meet call.
