Canasta is a card game that can be played by 2, 3 or 4 players, either singly or in pairs. It’s competitive, addictive and great fun, even if it’s infuriating at times.

If you’ve not played before we will teach you, introducing you to the strategies and tactics you need to be successful, as well as how to score.

We meet (see below) in the foyer area of The Spring at 2pm and finish by 4pm when The Spring closes. Whilst there are no direct costs, we feel it incumbent upon ourselves to buy a drink from the café, so that we continue to be welcome at The Spring.

Group 1 is currently full but Group 2 is open to new members. Group 1 meets on the first Thursday of the month and Group 2 on the fourth.

If you’re interested in joining please email Christopher, details above.

A Risk Assessment is available for this group on request from the Secretary (click on this link to send a message).
