This group is now 2 years old and getting better all the time. The group is small enough we can get to know each other rather than a new group of strangers to play with each week. Our members are fun, interesting smart women of various ages and backgrounds. Rummikub is the most fun you can have at a game table with women. It takes a little strategy, a little luck, and some great friends to play with.  Not terribly hard to learn, but it is a little addictive! We play weekdays, usually Tuesday and …

Examples could include anything from picnics, kayak outings on Lake Wingra, moderate bike rides, and nature walks in the Arboretum to potluck dinners, pubs, and local live musi …

This is a place for folks to connect with other drummers and hoopers in the Madison WI area and beyond. No experience necessary. It is all for fun. You all remember the old hula-hoop? That is hooping, and most hoopers I know quite like hanging out and hooping while drummers drum. It is a good mutually supportive combination.
