MahJongg game

[Sueclark]

After 8 1/2 yrs. of renting out our home in Sunset Pte. Jan-March, we are now full-timers, for 6 months anyway. I have tried going to "open" Mahjongg in a couple Rec. Ctrs., to no avail. All the tables seem to be set already with 4 players. Is anyone out there new to the Villages and who does not want to go thru the embarassment of going to a Rec. Ctr. room full of MJ tables, and not being invited to play? I have a small table in my home, and will gladly buy a MJ set at Marion Market. My preference would be Wednesday night, but I am flexible. I am not competitive at all, just looking for a friendly game and to meet new people.

I would love to and if we can find others I would be willing to host at my house as well. Maybe a rotation of sorts? I live in Piedmont and am flexible with evenings. My email is mrscrimefighter@msn.com

[redwitch]

Would love to join up. My old group faded away. I can't offer my home but I can certainly offer a Mah Jongg set.

[mentoj]

I would be interested. I live in Pinellas...I am new to the game, but already enjoy it! Would you all mind giving me some "reminders" as I continue to learn how to play? I can also offer my home if someone brings a set until I buy one!!!:clap2:

[ettojr]

Aw! Look at that...a foursome! That worked well! Have fun!

[niftynanna]

I would also be interested in playing, have set, could sub. Used to play regularly but then stopped for past few years. I have played a few times at rec but agree, never know if you can play. Let me know if still looking for players. Could also play at my house in Largo. Please Private email me. Thanks,

[graciegirl]

I love when things work out. And WELCOME HOME SueClark.

[CFrance]

I would be interested too. However, I don't know how to play. Is there a beginner's group anywhere?

[SALYBOW]

My group fell apart so I am willing. I have a set. I am going to have surgery next Wednesday so I will not be ready to go for a few weeks. If I fit into someones plans I would love to be included.

[sm2000]

I am in Sabal Chase...have been playing for a year & would love to get together w/maybe Largo? or who ever. I do have a set & can offer my home at times. smoore1037@mcpsolutions.com Would love to hear from you all. Sue...

[goldenlucydog]

I live in Bonita & I'm here from Oct thru Apr.

We will be arriving Jan 11. We live in Pinellas also. My wife is interested in playing Mahjongg also. She would be a beginner- please keep her in the loop!

[marennorge]

There are two of us that would like to play. We took a class in learning how to play Mah Jongg at the Lifelong Learning College just this fall so we are beginners. Contact us at diane.carr@comcast.net or caharrold@gmail.com. We would be glad to host, too, and have a set.

[MicheleE]

I want to learn to play too! I have the basics of the game but am a beginner for sure. I also have Mah Jongg sets (that my Mom left me).

[mentoj]

Please keep me in the loop!!! Some of your Villages are close to mine in Pinellas!! I also don't mind driving a longer distance!!! It seems like we all have the same idea about a group we'd like to be part of. Me email address is mentoj@aol.com or you can pm me on here....My phone number is 352 561 4025. Thanks, Julie

[mentoj]

I'm just learning too. I started by attending the beginner group which meets at Big Cypress on Wednesdays from 9:00-12:00. Sandy gives lessons at a table. Then when you feel comfortable playing she places you at a table with someone willing to help. I'm also going to take lessons at the Villages Life Long Learning but the January one is already full. The next one is April.
If any of you would like to meet at Big Cypress, Wednesdays at 9:00. I can get there earlier and get a table for us. The times that I have gone, there were some tables still available. it would be just another way we could meet especially if someone wants to work with Sandy to learn how to play. I went through her lessons twice. :-) See my contact information above. Julie

[Yosemite]

I'm only here for January but would love to play as much as possible. I have a set and can host. I have an extremely friendly dog, however, and this would not work for someone with pet allergies. If we have 6 or more, does anyone have a card table?

I have a card table and a Mah Jongg ste. Possibly everyone could IM me with there availability, and contact info. It sounds as if we could form several groups. I would be willing to begin organizing it. After my surgery on Wednesday I will be sitting around a lot anyway.

[batman911]

There is a beginners class at Bradenton Rec Center weekly. An instructor teaches those who want to learn how to play. You must buy the card (available at the Purple Pig in LSL).

[Sueclark]

we are playing at my house tomorrow evening, Tues., 6:30pm We have a set, I will have refreshments. 1662 Latta Court, off Bailey Trail. Looking forward to meeting you. Please email me back to let me know one way or the other. looking forward

[Sueclark]

come on over. tomorrow, Tues. nite. 1662 Latta court, 6:30pm. We might have more than 5, but one of us is only here for the month of Jan. (boohoo), and it's not a problem for me to have 6. Please let me know via email. thx

[kittygilchrist]

I'd like beginner lessons and also offering to host. Anybody able to teach?

[CFrance]

Me too!

[MicheleE]

Kitty - I would love a beginner lesson. Can you let me know if you've found one?

[stroglass]

I would love to learn this game if there is a lesson I would like to try my hand

[GMIJFI]

I would love to join you too. I am new to the villages. I was taking some lessons but they got interrupted when we moved. I do have a set and would be willing to host in my house once we get settled in. We are located in Bonneybrook. our e-mail is:
irwing@olypen.com

[lovsthosebigdogs]

I hope there is still room for me when I move down in a few months. I have my own set and can't wait to learn. The place I currently live was supposed to give lessons (here) and after I signed up no one called me so I guess I will have to wait til I come down to learn. I have a great idea- all my TOTV friends can learn and teach me when I come! :o)

[graciegirl]

I could come and make refreshments.

[njbchbum]

I could come and make refreshments.

Now I ask you all...Where else could you go and find..........a caterer for MahJongg? Gracie is top shelf!!!!! :clap2:

[mentoj]

Sorry I can't make it, Tuesday. but please keep me posted. I'd love to come another time.

[Sueclark]

yup, so far so good!!

[Sueclark]

To those who responded--and I truly do not know how many at this point---we are playing at my house, 1662 Latta Court, Sunset Pointe, 6:30pm tonight. If there are too many, we can certainly set up in my dining room as well, so someone bring another set. And we can all work something out from there. Thanks, everyone, for responding to this. AND, I am not saying that all the Rec Ctrs. treat "newbies" the same but judging by the reception I got at Miona and last week at Colony Cottage I'll be happy to play at my own(or someone else's) home. And also make some new friends.

[Sanbo]

CFrance, There are beginner lessons at Big Cypress Rec. Just call for date and time.

[GMIJFI]

Sue,

Got back to Villages to get to your event at your house tonight. Would you please post what was decided for future get togethers for those that could not attend.
Thanks!

[Sueclark]

I prefer to play in the evening, not during the day. Thanks. We actually had 3 of us play tonight, and hopefully will have a couple more next week. Very enjoyable

[Sueclark]

We are playing at my house again next week, same time, same night. Please let me know if you are coming, as I have also emailed 2 others who were interested. Just have to know for set up. Thx

[JaniceOhio]

You guys are so cool! Please know how much truly I admire everyone's willingness to include others.. Makes me sit here and smile...I am closing and moving some things into my home in Gilchrist in 2 weeks. Will be there for a week. Then back to work in Columbus, Ohio. I hope to meet some of you while I'm there. My email is Janice@WorthingtonCareers.com

[BonnieF]

I am new in Pinellas, have never played but would love to learn. Can offer my home and certainly would buy a set if needed. If a newbie fits into anyone's plans or anyone has the patience to teach, I would love to be included. BonnieFedor@gmail.com

[shcisamax]

CFrance, There are beginner lessons at Big Cypress Rec. Just call for date and time.

CFrance Just sent you a pm with info on Bradenton and a few other items.

[sharonga]

Please count me in. I would love to have a weekly game. Have a set and a round table. I am in Sanibel.

[ggomba1]

My wife is interested- she can be contacted at sgomba@verizon.net

[rharrisjr]

My wife is very interested in evening majjong. We are in Poincianna. She has mj set and is willing to host her turn. email her at maryanneharris@aol.com and write majjong in subject line

[Sueclark]

I would love to talk to you. I play with a nice group of 4, but I am leaving to go back North in 3 weeks. I know, they'd like to continue playing. Please email me off this website, it's just easier to communicate that way for me. thx.

[Sueclark]

If anyone is still interested in joining a group, please email me off this website. It's easier to communicate that way for me. I play with a very nice group. We are 4, but I am leaving to go back North (until October). I know the other 3 would love to continue playing, and it's a wonderful group.

[maddie101]

We will be moving there next year. Mah Jongg is in my blood. I am a third generation player. I just sold my online website selling mah Jongg sets after 15 years. Needless to say I look forward to playing when we arrive.
