Thursdays · 17:00 – 21:00
The puzzle club at the long table
Free, unhurried and a little competitive in January. Started in 2014 with four regulars and a borrowed trestle table.
How it works
An evening at the club
1
Bring a box
Any puzzle, ours or not, finished or barely started. If you have none, borrow one from the swap shelf.
2
Take a seat
The long table seats fourteen under the arch lamps. Tea and poppy-seed cake are on the house.
3
Swap when done
Leave a finished puzzle on the shelf, take another home. Members swapped 212 boxes last year.
The regulars
Edges first, always
Most Thursdays there are a dozen of us: two retired engineers, a family of four, students from the music school and Pani Irena, who refuses to look at the box lid.
Members get 10% off anything in the shop on club nights and first pick of new releases before they reach the shelf.
Questions
Before your first Thursday
Do I need to book?
No. Turn up any Thursday from 17:00. For groups of five or more, send us a line so we can set out a second table.
Can children come?
Yes, with a grown-up. We keep a shelf of 300 and 500 piece puzzles for younger hands.
What if I do not finish?
Leave it on a board in our back room with your name on it. Unfinished puzzles keep their place for four weeks.
Is there a fee?
No fee and no membership card. Sign the club book on your first night and you are a member.
See you Thursday
