"BEAT YOUR SPOUSE"

REGULARLY AND SEVERELY!

(at cribbage)

Last year Bill Ellis taught a cribbage class at the request of the Green Valley Casa Community Center that was very well received. The students, who happened to be primarily ladies, all agreed that not only was the class lots of fun but it improved their cribbage game significantly. One of those students recently showed up at the Titans Cribbage Club Wednesday night game and started off the evening by skunking the best player and easily finished up "in the money".

Bill had a request from some Quail Creek ladies to do a similar class here in QC and to offer it to men as well. In cribbage games, the more the merrier so the class will be open to anyone with a basic understanding of cribbage play. The class will first focus on the game basics and protocol and then will introduce the standard cribbage "tricks and traps" that you set for your opponent. It will finish-up with a strong focus on the "26 theory" that is part of every successful cribbage tournament player's bag of winning techniques.

If you would like to improve your cribbage game, this class is for you. To sign up just send an email to Bill@PlayCribbage.org and let Bill know a time that is best for you. The possible class times being considered are Tuesday or Friday mornings or Thursday evenings. Please list the times in order of preference. The class will probably start after the first of the year and will be here in Quail Creek. It utilizes a study book called "Play Winning Cribbage" and a special deck of cards that will greatly improve your ability to count cribbage points. There is a refundable $10.00 fee that covers the book and all class materials. There are no other charges. A free computer cribbage game is available for those who want more home practice. Classes are taught in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with no attendance requirements. Students play cribbage during the workshop type classes.

Our teacher, who won the Gold Medal for cribbage at the Tucson Senior Olympics last year, is a regular competitor on the cribbage tournament trail and recently had a tenth place finish at the Grand National Championship Games in Portland. He founded the Titans Cribbage Club that's here in Green Valley.

CRIBBAGE GAMES

The Titans Cribbage Club will resume their cribbage games on Wednesdays at 6:30 PM. We will play traditional cribbage until approximately 9:30 PM. All players are welcome and there are no fees or memberships required to play at our club.

Please join us if you would enjoy playing traditional*** two handed cribbage in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the Green Valley/Sahuarita/Tucson area. There are no memberships or dues or fees required and the "win pool" is optional.

(We are not GVR)

Complimentary coffee and refreshments are served during the games.

The cribbage games are played at the Casa Community Center, which is located at 780 S Park Centre Avenue in Green Valley. This is near the junction of Hwy 19 and Continental road. Driving Directions: From the intersection of Hwy 19 (exit 63) and Continental Road, drive east about 1.3 miles on Continental Rd. to the four-way stop. Turn left (north) on Park Centre Avenue and proceed 100 feet and park in the Casa de Esperanza parking lot on your left. We play cribbage in the red brick building nearest the parking lot. I usually park my silver Chrysler Sebring convertible next to the entrance door.

***Traditional two handed cribbage is the standard cribbage that most people play. There are other cribbage groups in the area but these clubs primarily play three and four handed cribbage games and they are not open to the general public. We believe we are the only club in the Tucson, Sahuarita, Green Valley area that is open to all persons and plays traditional two handed cribbage. We use a "relaxed" version of the American Cribbage Congress' rules of cribbage.
