Past Event Details

The Wellesley Club UK invites Young Alums to join us for an afternoon out at the London Shuffle Club; we hope you'll join us!

Originally played on the decks of transatlantic cruise ships, lane shuffleboard is a game in which two teams of players use long sticks called ‘tangs’ to push discs called ‘biscuits’ along a narrow lane into a scoring triangle at the other end. Players can hit a 7, 8, or 10 with each turn, with the team reaching 75 points first being the winning team.

Beware though, land in ‘the kitchen’ and you automatically lose 10 points. Touch a line and the points don’t count. Land in the ‘dead zone’ and your biscuit must be removed. Harsh, but definitely fun!

We've booked two lanes for two hours on the afternoon of Sunday, 6 November, from 14:30-16:25. Wellesley Club UK will provide the lanes, pizza and snacks; we ask alums to purchase their own drinks. Register here for the event. 

We hope you'll join us on November 6th! 

 

The Club continues to use its “CHOOSE YOUR OWN DUES” plan. (For some guidance, the range is normally between £5 and £50). All funds go directly towards the Club’s events such as Thanksgiving, communications, lectures, etc. Without your contribution through dues, we'd be unable to put on important events such as this one, or the Thanksgiving dinner. Please consider paying something toward annual dues when you register for this event. Thank you!
