BOARD GAMES Encore coordinator: Joy Jude

Come On! Let’s get together and play some of these fun games, many of which we played as kids or played with our kids or grandkids. We’ll have a selection available - e.g. Scrabble, Yahtzee, Rummikub, Qwirkle or you can bring your own games like Dominoes or whatever other board game you like to play. Sign up with a friend and meet others who are out to have a good time!

BRIDGE SUPERVISED. Instructor: Bruce Horne

Play bridge like a pro. If you are learning bridge or want to practice or refresh your skills, you can enjoy the game in an informal social environment.  You either win, or you learn or you enjoy yourself, or all three!  We will compare results to see how different players bid and played each board.  Playing bridge is a life-long learning pleasure. This is not for beginners.

FLOWERS WITH DEANNE Instructor Deanne Hall-Habeeb

The focus of this course will be flowers. Settings such as flowers on a terrace, in a room, as a still life, in a garden or landscape  Colour harmonies will be explained and used. Various media and techniques will be demonstrated. Students may work in their preferred media. Works by artists will inspire us.
