Two teams, each made up of four players, slide in turn the stones towards the house: a circular target marked on the ground. Each team has eight stones and the goal is to accumulate the highest score of the match; points are awarded for stones that come to rest closest to the center of the house at the end of each round, which ends when both teams throw all their stones. A match may consist of eight or ten  innings.

What are the health benefits of line dancing? The main physical health benefit of line dancing is that it provides a fun workout by improving heart and respiratory function: dancing burns as many calories as walking or cycling. Many people who find it hard to get excited about an aerobics or gymnastics class will find the rhythm and choreography of line dancing to be more tempting and spirit-friendly options. Dancing, however long you exercise, requires strength, balance and coordination, so it's a great way to improve memory, focus, balance, and stability. This is especially true as you get older, as good balance helps prevent falls. Another advantage: the movements strengthen the bones and muscles of the hips and legs. 

Marjolaine and Cathy, resident volunteers, will host board games in the library on a weekly basis. Come test your skills and play while having fun! Sequence, Mexican Train, quirkle, joker rummy, snakes and ladders. There will be choices for everyone!
