Meeting over Mah Jong

ON FEBRUARY 16, Torquay Senior Citizens Centre will be alive with the sound of clicking tiles as people gather over a game of Mah Jong.

The event is being organised by Marie Darby, who for several years has helped many people form friendships over the centuries-old game.

Ms Darby started teaching the game to others in the area in 2005 and continued to do so at the University of the Third Age (U3A).

She said she kept contact with some of those she had taught but was looking forward to reuniting with others.

“It’s just a great chance to get in touch with people that we can’t otherwise,” Ms Darby said.

Having taught so many groups to play over the years, Marie is looking for a representative from each group to get in touch.

If you have previously been part of one of the groups, contact Ms Darby by emailing [email protected].
