Golf Club

We meet at 9:45 for a 10:00 start. We make up groups randomly by picking cards. We do not give lessons, so you must know the basics, but we are not pros by any means. Many do not keep score.
Happy Appies

This is a mixed partner/singles/friends group that would bring an appetizer to share and your own drinks to the hosts house.
International Dinner Club

Out & About
This is a group that would meet whenever there is an event in Kingston. Some ideas of events could be craft shows, art shows, theatre, walking tours, cooking class, Wine tours, farm tours, brewery tours.
Pot Luck Lunch / Brunch
4th Wednesday @ 11:00
The idea is to allow the members to get together without going to a restaurant. The person hosting decides if they would like Brunch or lunch. Everyone brings a dish to share.
Pub Night RAXX
1st Friday @ 5:00, all year round.
We meet at 5:00 to mix and mingle, order dinner at 5:30. RAXX, 665 Development Drive. Each month, shortly before the event, the convenor sends out an email asking who will be attending. As Pub Night is popular, everyone interested in attending must R.SV.P. each month so RAXX knows how much space to reserve.
Reel Timers
3rd Tuesday of the month
We meet on Tuesday, to take advantage of cheap tickets. We will either go to the Cineplex or the Landmark theatre. Choose the matinee movie you wish to enjoy, let me know and then join us for dinner to critique the movies. This is a light, fun afternoon / evening event.
Two Groups:
One in the afternoon
One evening group.
All meet in members' homes or on Zoom.
2nd Monday @ 1:30 and 3rdd Thursday @ 7:00.
Thursday Night Out

Each month the group meets at a pub selected by the Convenor. This group is open to everyone, couples or singles.
Walking
I am looking for people who want to walk but would also like to share their favourite walking trails, parks, neighbourhoods. I would coordinate but I would want people to step up and suggest different places.
