Hey, do you guys want to do the Mystery Hunt again this year? http://puzzle.berkeley.edu/

Hey everyone! We are doing the Mystery Hunt again this year! Please sign up here:
http://puzzle.berkeley.edu/main/teams/roster
Our team is Canastasize! and the password is a single space. If you are participating (which you should, it will be awesome), please add yourself ASAP and specify your shirt size.

Never played Canasta, or even heard of it? Don't worry! Most of us didn't have a clue what Canasta was when we joined, but we all learned together along the way . We're happy to teach anyone and everyone willing to learn, and even have a ladder system and semesterly tournament!

Our club is dedicated to fun, fun, and more fun! That's right! We play board games, card games, dice games, video games, solve puzzles (the murder mystery type ones, or just any, actually), eat pineapples, go skiing, ask Haotian, play tennis, badminton, racket ball, watch movies, and, of course, play the one thing that brought us all together, Canasta!

As you can see, we've expanded to do much more than just Canasta, and any new ideas for adventures are welcome! Check out our Everything page to get a small taste of what we do!

Interested? We meet every Friday, 7pm-9pm in 187 Dwinelle, and this Friday, January 27th, is our first official meeting of the semester! There's absolutely no obligations, so swing by and check us out!


Hope to see you all there!

Games played no longer give an automatic 5 points.  All old games have been recalculated to reflect this.  The results are surprising.

Should make things a bit more competitive.

Hello, hello! I hope that finals studying is going well for everyone!

Canasta Club will be having a reunion tomorrow (Dec. 9) at 7:30pm!! We're planning on just having a quick get together dinner with everyone, so we can all go back to "studying" ASAP. We'll be meeting up in Durant Food Court (some people call this place Asian Ghetto), at Sushi House! So get your food from where ever, and meet us at Sushi House!

Looking forward to seeing everyone for the last time (maybe) before break! And if we don't see you there, good luck on finals and have fun over break!!

And so it's another year over. Come join Canasta Club for its semesterly end-of-semester tournament awards followed by a mix of fun holiday activities to celebrate the holidays!

For the club half of the day, we'll also be throwing together a White Elephant gift exchange just for fun.  Just bring a wrapped gift (make it either nice or funny) with no name written on it.  We'll throw all the gifts in one pile and take turns either unwrapping a new gift or stealing from another member.  

Those of you who haven't been around for a while - it'd be a nice surprise for you to drop by!

This last meeting of the semester, as usual, will be held *initially* in 88 Dwinelle at 7pm, Friday Dec.2.  We'll spend about the first hour there, but afterwards, who knows where we'll be!

Don't be late!  

@DeCal: For those still missing points and want to raise their grade, any additional games played this day will count towards extra credit.

There's a 3-day weekend coming up on Nov.11.  I doubt anyone is free Thanksgiving with family and all, so we should go on Veteran's Day instead (unless you do something special that day ).

It'll be at Boreal (www.borealski.com) as usual.  Your first time will cost $70 but includes rentals and lessons as well.  Then the 2nd and 3rd time you go will only cost $30 for the same deal (and more advanced lessons).

We'll leave early at 7am and head home about 5pm; bring food if you don't want to buy.  If you or your parent can drive, please ask.  It's a regular highway with multiple lanes - no narrow roads, not too far into the winter so you shouldn't need chains.

Time and Place:
6am = Be ready to be picked up.  Leave Berkeley.
8am = Arrive in Sacramento, leave for Boreal.
10am = Arrive at Boreal.
5pm = Leave Boreal to head home.
6pm = Dinner in Sacramento.
7pm = Leave Sacramento for Berkeley.
9pm = Back in Berkeley.

Drivers:

Weather to check just incase:

Bringing back some of the summer time activities here... On Sunday Oct.30, we'll be meeting up for tennis in the evening, followed by dinner and a movie later that night.

6pm = Tennis, Hearst Courts.
7pm = Dinner from Asian Ghetto, movie at 2525 Durant Ave.

There are a few movies we can select from.  They'll be in a similar genre to "Donnie Darko".

If you want to join us, let us know by signing up for the event or replying back.
