Cribbage, anyone?
Just talking with a friend of mine and found she loves to play cribbage. We thought it might be fun to start up a group in the Alton Bay area... I have no details yet on the whens and wheres for this but thought I'd check with all y'all to see if there was any interest.
Please post or PM me if you're interested. Name days of the week and times when you'd be most interested in getting together. Most likely we'll be meeting at a community center or the library or whathaveyou (public place). THANKS! 15-2, 15-4, 15-6, and right card is 1... |

on the west side
My wife and I have thought about hosting a cribbage night once a week. We're in Laconia so if Alton is too far away, post your interest anyway.

Interested in Laconia
My wife likes to play and would be interested in a group in Laconia. We're in South Down. She currently gets together with a friend from church that lives in the Taylor Community.

FANTASTIC! Count us in! We love cribbage. We live in Florida, but we will be arriving for six months at the lake starting in very early May. We also go to the Gilford Library several times a week and last fall we saw that they were starting a Scrabble group and are VERY EXCITED about that, too! Does anybody know if it has started up yet?

Those of you wanting to participate in a cribbage group in Alton, please post days of the week/times you're interested...
I'll start... Sunday afternoons Thursday evenings Friday evenings Once I get a basic head count, I'll lock in a room at the community center or library or whathaveyou, and post the wheres and whens. So far, we have about 6 people interested from this forum and other connections in the Alton area... |

How about cribbage ON the water? A nice pontoon boat would make a great setting, but not on a windy day.

We say Friday evenings, but we're real flexible. Whatever works for most of you.

I just heard on the radio just this morning something about Cribbage at the Meredith Community Center, as well! Does anyone have details about that?

Not any more. It would be a little crowded on my PWC. Cribbage standing in Braun Bay with a floating table maybe?

I understand there's going to be some awesome players there - I'm bringing a pillow because I know they're going to kick my butt. I'm a decent player but nothing to brag about... I play cribbage like I bowl or golf - I'm in it to have a good time like the big kid that I am....

We had a nice little turn-out yesterday with about seven of us playing. There were all different skill levels there. I think Jeanzb1 cleaned the boards nicely with a few of us - she got a nice 24 count hand in the last round of games - lucky duck!
Anyhow, we're on again next Sunday if y'all can make it. If Sundays don't work for you or you'd prefer a different time, just let me know. I'm open to moving the dates/times around... nothing is set in stone. Hope to see you soon! |

i cannot mke it today due to an emergency. sorry for the short tnotice trying to post from my cell... forgive the typos. will email when i am back at a puter
UPDATE: I've PM'd you Jeanzb1. My apology for missing you guys today but a simple trip to Maine turned into a lot more than I'd planned on thanks to my not-so-trusty minivan. I am sorry if anyone waited for me today and will make it up to you next weekend with a tasty treat. I feel so bad about this - it's not like me to miss something like this. Thanks for your patience!
