Badminton 1- Thursdays:
THURSDAY MORNING BADMINTON – CUC, Tremough Campus
Some of our long term loyal members have sadly had to drop out of our group due to dodgy knees, hips or elbows! The joys of increasing age! As a result we are now able to welcome new members with some playing experience whether recent or back in the dim and distant youth (unfortunately we cannot accommodate beginners). A fairly regular commitment is a help.
We are a friendly bunch who play hard, but also enjoy the companionship while we are sitting out.
Badminton 2 - Monday:
Weds Badminton is now Monday Badminton! We now meet at the Ord Statter Hall at Mylor Bridge. Starting time 09.30 hrs until we have had enough at around Midday. The hall is smaller and therefore the court is smaller than Perranarworthal Hall and has height impediments meaning that the game is gentler and less physically taxing for some. However we can enjoy the facility and remain a friendly if not often a fiercely competitive group of players. Come and join us if you want, bring your own drinks, energy snack and racquet,whatever. Contact me: Les Moulson, on 01326340110, or else email me on lesmoulson@gmail.com
Carpet Bowls:
-----------------
My name is Brenda Williams I run the carpet bowls at 7 Waterings Rd, Mylor Bridge, Falmouth TR11 5NH, Fridays from 1:20 to 3:25. We cater for all ages and abilities, so why not come down and join us. If you have any questions, I can be contacted by email blossom1957@hotmail.com or on 01209 821 058. Look forward to seeing you there!
Mahjong:
Mahjong is a Chinese game which involves tiles rather than cards. It is basically Rummy with attitude. There are ritual ways of setting up the game which seem a first a little daunting, as is the scoring system but the actual play is simple and can easily be learnt in an afternoon. You don't need to have your own set, we have several and I have scoring sheets and counters. We meet at the Church Hall in Perranwell on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month at 1.45pm to set up the tables to start at 2pm. We play until 4pm. We have in the past had refreshments at half-time but until Covid disappears we are taking our own. Any new members are welcome, we will all help you to master the game and we are a friendly bunch.
At our last meeting of 2021 one member had one fantastic game with a score we shall probably not see again. While we were scoring 20 to 60 she managed over 12,000. It's just as well we don't play for money!

Ten Pin Bowling -
We meet at Truro Bowl on the first Tuesday of the month at 11.00 for an 11.30 start. All are welcome to come along and join in the fun. We play one game and have a small trophy for the winning lady and gent, but it's more about the fun than the winning. After the game, several of us stay on for lunch and a chat.
Please wear trainer type or non slip shoes as shoes are no longer available from the alley. All are welcome to come along and join in the fun, but please note we pay to play, it is not a free session.
Please do not come if you have any signs of Covid-19.
