Mah Jong - $2 koha
We are a very friendly group ready to help you learn this fascinating and fun game originating in China. We play the English version. If you can play cards, you can play Mah Jong. There are three suits – bamboos, circles and characters, numbered 1 to 9, plus each of the 4 winds, and 3 dragons: red, green and white. There are four of each of these tiles – sounds complicated? Not a bit! Come along and try it. It is not necessary to have a set of tiles. All are welcome.
Seniors Cards - $2 koha
We share the warm cosy room with the Mah Jong players.
Come play social card games, make new friends and catch up with old ones.

One Red Hot poker plant growing in a 16cm pot. It is not in flower at the moment.
It flowered last year.
These plants are extremely hardy and can withstand dry situations.
Their flowers are large red and yellow heads held aloft on thick stalks.
This plant should transplant happily out of its pot.

Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
