This Chinese tile-collecting game is great fun and played with that in mind.
Instead of suits of spades, diamonds, etc., bamboo, characters, circles, winds and dragons are collected in threes (pungs) and fours (kongs).
A completed set of fourteen tiles constitutes “mahjongg” and a score is worked out according to the value of the collection.
The group is well established and soon will be tackling other ways of collecting which is more risky but also more exciting.
Please let Celia know if you are interested in joining the waiting list.

Short trek: ‘trek’ implies a bit of effort, so gradients are at some point involved, often on Dartmoor, Exmoor, the Brendons or the Quantocks, although visits to the rest of Devon and Somerset (Dorset too, occasionally) aren’t exactly flat. But the important point is that we travel through beautiful countryside which deserves to be appreciated, so expect to go at a pace which also allows you to do this.
Distances will be around 5 to 8 miles, the very occasional shorter walk providing the opportunity for a pub lunch afterwards, while a packed lunch is always necessary on the longer ones (which are often followed, though, by an convivial finale in a convenient pub or cafe – optional, of course, but pleasant). Summer treks start at 10.30, while winter ones change to 10 a.m.
