Two local clubs are starting the year promising new members an opportunity to keep their brain fit and active.
The Rodney Scrabble Club meets every Monday in The Totara Park retirement village hall, Melwood Drive, from 1pm-4pm.
The club is currently offering free visits.
Info: Sandy 425 4638 or Linda 425 4959.
Meanwhile, the Warkworth Bridge Club, in Alnwick Street, is also inviting new members, with lessons starting on February 20.
The club meets on Tuesday afternoons and Wednesday evenings. As well as weekly club competitions, members play in regional tournaments and further afield.
“You can be as competitive as you like or you can just come along to the club and enjoy the social interaction,” club president Jenny Robinson says.
Although the lessons are targeted at new players, anyone who hasn’t played for a while will find them useful as a refresher. The 10-week course covers the basics of the game with the idea that the new players will eventually feed in to the regular club nights.
“While there is no doubt that the game is mentally challenging, it is also fun,” Jenny says.
“And new members soon discover that it can become addictive.”
