Do you have a Mah Jong set at home? Or have you always fancied learning how to play?
Mah Jong is a wonderfully sociable game of strategy, combining skill with a healthy dose of luck. And, unlike bridge, you don’t need a partner to play. It is relatively easy to learn, and players of different abilities can happily play together.
Our Mah Jong section started at the Club last autumn with beginners’ classes led by Caroline Hough, an experienced teacher who also runs classes at City Lit and Hurlingham Club. We play British Rules Mah Jong, and the useful book Mah-Jong (Know the Game) by Gwyn Headley is a great reference to have alongside you when playing.
But perhaps the most important thing to know is that Mah Jong is FUN! It is a friendly, sociable game, and our sessions are a great way to meet other members, enjoy a cup of tea and exercise your brain at the same time.
Come and play
We now have two friendly Mah Jong sessions every week:
Tuesdays 1–3pm and Wednesdays 4–6pm tea-time Mah Jong
We book through a WhatsApp group, so you can join whenever you fancy a game. We are also considering an evening session. The Club has four Mah Jong sets which you can borrow for a game in the garden or Club Café.
