Please join us for a fun evening of pickleball at the Fairgrounds (Cloverdale Mall) This is a combined event with Swansea Pickleball players. Afterwards dinner at Bellona (Jane St) at 7.45 pm. where we will have a 50/50 and giveaways. Our group will have 5 courts of doubles. Players step off now and again and rotate onto courts of their choice. Pickleball paddles can be rented for $5, but I can try to borrow an extra paddle or two? I will try to arrange for car pooling if anyone needs a ride. Please let me know? There is a free practice wall to play on if you arrive early. Also a shop and social area. So please go early. The game: You will be required to have some knowledge of pickleball play. It is a simple game and a lot like tennis in some ways. Please watch u-tube the rules of pickleball, and how to play. The scoring is a little different and it is important to take extra time to familiarize yourself with it. There will be one court designated for beginners. There are no coaches, which is why you will need to do a bit of research if you have never played before. As a tennis player you will already be decent at the pickleball game.

**Caller: Dan Kappus** **Band: Trillium** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
