Mahjong beginners session
Bally’s Casino, Bally’s Casino, The Gate, Newgate Street, Newcastle, NE1 5TG,, Newcastle, GB
Casual beginners session in Bally's Casino in Newcastle, in January.

We'll stick to the basics, and use old-style Hong Kong rules - which is a very good place to start. Score sheets and numbered tiles will be available, so you don't need to learn Chinese numbers beforehand.

We're already expecting several other beginners, so should be a good & fun session. Should start around 7pm, traffic permitting. We should be off to the side of Freya's Bar, and we won't be the groups of Chinese playing at a brisk rate(!)

Longer term, we're trying to get more regular games going in the Newcastle area and nearby. Please see facebook group for further info.

ALSO - there's another Mahjong event this Sunday (21st) if you can't wait - check facebook group for details.
