Are you curious about the game of mahjong?

Are you a mahjong player who would like more practice?

We have finally established our own Bearbrass mahjong sessions.

Come along and play with Bearbrass friends at the Mission to Seafarers fortnightly on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.

Players of all abilities welcome including beginners, no prior experience required. 

If you have a mahjong set to bring along, that would be helpful but not necessary.

Come along to the Library at the Dock and have a hit of table tennis together with fellow members.

No need for experience, this is a fun activity. No experience? No problem.

Come along and learn to play or, if you are experienced, hone your skills a little.

NB. This will be a fortnightly event on the second and fourth Thursday of each month.

We will be meeting at the Dock Library in Docklands for our monthly general meeting starting at 10:30 a.m. sharp. The doors will be open from 10:15 a.m. for registration.

Our speaker is our club Founder, the irrepressible Tony Thomas on “Life and Death on the Serengeti Plains”, so it would be a good meeting to bring a guest.

Veteran journalist Tony’s talk covers his safaris, with Margaret, through three of Tanzania’s top wildlife reserves, Tarangire, Ngorongoro  Crater and the vast Serengeti grasslands. These are home to literally millions of wildebeest, zebras and other grazers, accompanied by the prolific carnivores. The herds’ migration is one of the world’s great natural spectacles. Tony will discuss how these nature reserves are maintained, the battle against poachers and the increasing conflicts with local farmers and Maasai tribes. He will show many stunning movie clips of animals on the move, including thousands of zebras taking a bath in an alkaline lake.

Please don't forget to bring (and wear!) your member name badge.

Lunch after the meeting is at Tap 831.

If you are attending the meeting we need to know whether or not you are attending lunch afterwards.

Come along to The Mission to Seafarers and enjoy an afternoon of playing 500 with fellow members.

(500 or Five Hundred, also called Bid Euchre (not to be confused with another game of that name) is a trick-taking game that is an extension of Euchre with some ideas from bridge. )

 Players of all abilities including beginners are welcome.

Founded in 1839, the Melbourne Athenaeum is an art and culture hub located above the Athenaeum Theatre on Collins Street. The library is like a semi-secret reading room. Here, you’ll find quality new releases and classics and one of Victoria’s best crime fiction collections. As well as the enormous book collection, the library also hosts a program of events and book clubs throughout the year. On our visit, Head Librarian, Fiona Malcolm will take us on a tour of the library as well as fill us in on the library's past and it's present offerings to members.

The walking group meets monthly to walk around various landmarks close to the city. Walks are generally around 5k and certainly no further than 8k with big hills avoided. A suitable stop for coffee is normally part of the walk.  It is a good opportunity to get some exercise and have a chat at the same time.

This is a placeholder for the event, with more detail to be added once the location for the walk is confirmed. 

Members of the group take it in turns to plan and lead the walk. 

Meetings will be held at The Malthouse 113 Sturt Street Southbank.
