🎟️ Grab your ticket: [Here](https://www.ticketfi.com/event/6968/topickleballclub-indoor-court-sign-up-april-25th-2026) Join us for another fun TO Pickleball Club session this Saturday on April 25th, 3-5pm! 🔥 Whether you’re coming to rally, meet new people, or just enjoy a great night of pickleball, this session is all about good games, great energy, and a welcoming community. 😊 You can expect rotating games and a friendly, social atmosphere. All skill levels are welcome, whether you’re brand new or already playing regularly. Spots are limited, and sessions often sell out, so make sure to secure your ticket early. You’re welcome to click “Going” on Meetup so others can see the event is active, but please note: RSVPing on Meetup does NOT reserve a spot. Only players with a ticket will be able to join the session. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the courts! 🎉

Don't be disappointed if you don't see a bunch of people attending. I advertise this on multiple platforms and the class usually sells out. \*\*If you don't use Paypal, email me at ralph@socap.ca and we'll figure it out. You can pay be etransfer or with a credit card/cash at the venue.\*\* Improv comedy uses several techniques to create laughter. These include, creating an atmosphere free of judgement, saying 'yes', active listening, being positive, putting your focus on others, and the importance of play and laughter. Not coincidentally, these are the same things that happen to us naturally when we are bonding with another person. In this class, we'll explore these techniques not with the goal of being funny, but with the goal of being people that other people want to be around. The teacher, Ralph MacLeod, is a co-founder of two independent improv clubs in Toronto - Bad Dog Theatre and Social Capital Theatre. He's been teaching improv for over 30 years. He also teaches these same techniques to several organizations including UofT, Google, Kraft, Shopify and many, many more. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! FAQs and Good To Know.... After every event, a group from this class sit down and have a drink together so be prepared to stay if you want! Of course, you don't HAVE to. You also don't have to be single or bring a friend. The vibe of this class is much more 'making new friends' than a 'singles' mixer'. We usually run to 8:15 so pay for extra parking!

Do you like s’mores? Maybe you’ve never had a s’mores. Either way this is the place to be for dollar s’mores. But you’ve got to roast the marshmallows over an open fire yourself which is the best part. Not mention you’ll be meeting other people in a social environment. $1 (cash only please) gets you two crackers, a piece of milk chocolate and a marshmallow on a skewer. For those of you who have never made your own or aren’t that skilled I will teach you how. And yes you can have more than one!
