Did you know?

The earliest known origins of table tennis dates back to the 1880s.   British soldiers in India and South Africa played a game using a table, a row of books placed in the middle of the table for the net, a cigar box lid for the paddle, and a rounded cork from a champagne/wine bottle for the ball.

GAME’S NIGHT THIS FRIDAY NIGHT MAY 18TH

AT 7:30 PM AT THE ATHOL RECREATION CENTRE

Scrabble, cards, ping pong and more…………………

This week’s scrabble game tip:

Start Small to make Bigger words later.

Most players try to make the most points possible each turn, but forethought can go a long way to winning the game. Don’t be afraid to play a small word, like “bee,” “go,” or “red,” if you can keep high-scoring tiles that can be used more effectively later. Don’t think only about the current move, but about future moves, too.
