Flicks & Knips Crokinole Club

New Happenings in the New Year

2009-02-22T11:09:00.004-06:00

Hello all,
Starting up the club after the Christmas break has been a bit trying at times. After seeing what worked (and most importantly what didn't) I've decided to make our meetings for every week on Thursdays, anytime from 7-10pm. That way we can avoid confusion as to our meeting time. Also, I have taken advantage of a useful tool put together by the newly formed World Crokinole League on their online community, hosted by NING, of fellow crokinole clubs across North America. You can find our club's page by clicking here or checking out the link entitled 'Flicks & Knips Online Community' under Useful Crokinole Sites, located on the left sidebar of the blog site. I hope that this forum can help foster discussion and more exposure to the game, fellow players and the growing community across the country. While I'm on the subject, be sure to make use of the other links found on the Useful Crokinole Sites section of the site. Not only have I learned more about the game, I have also received feedback and entered into insightful discussions with other players from different clubs through the use of their sites. Enjoy!

Dec 11th meeting cancelled

Our meeting for December 11th is cancelled due to exams and the busy-ness of the holiday season. Stay tuned for info on our next meeting and we'll see you in the New Year!

First meeting in Tea Room a success!

It was great to see people coming and going throughout the evening. Some visitors just wanted to see what was going on, others said they would be back next time. Keep spreading the word! See you next time.

Spreading the word...

I've been placing posters around campus, took out an ad in the Port Shorts, posted a thread on Big Red and will be advertising it on the community email in hopes that we will get the word out there about the club. I'm quite excited about the re-introduction of the club in prep for winter settling in. The tea room is being renovated into a nice and cozy nook, which will be pleasant to host our get togethers. And there's no cost for our reserved place of meeting! Hooray! If you know of people outside of town, feel free to have them come as the more people there are, the better!

What Time is It?

2008-10-17T09:03:00.005-06:00

Game time... starts at 6pm and goes until 10pm (come and go anytime in between). I wanted to make special note of the time since there was a mistake in the Port Shorts. See you there!

More Low Key...

After juggling a number of factors such as cost for renting, number of attendees and the goals of what the club should be, I think the recent move of our gatherings to the Tea Room at the Pilgrim Centre will benefit the overall welfare of the club. Why not go to where the people are? Plus, the Pilgrim has lots of food and drink to keep us going...

I've also had time to think about possible activities that we can have/host throughout the year. Aside from regular meetings with casual games, talks of a Caronport-wide tournament have been tossed around, or maybe having a skills competition to develop/show-off your skills at the game. Thoughts? Any other ideas? I'd know what you think. Email me at flicksandknips@gmail.com with any suggestions, comments or inquiries pertaining to the club.

Building the site...

2008-09-03T18:01:00.002-06:00

We're in the process of posting useful/entertaining tidbits for the club! Please excuse the lack of content... Hope to see you at our first meeting!
