Our Mahjong group is in full swing. We welcomed new members this term and our instructors Gail and Teresa were kept busy teaching our beginners. We thank them for all their patience. It can’t be easy teaching Mahjong, but they always manage to get everyone in the swing of it and we have a lot of fun.

A KCLC mantra is “Look after your tutors”. However, I want to tell you about two tutors who turn the tables and look after their students.
Gail tutors Mahjong. For the first week back each term she caters for afternoon tea, bringing with her enough provisions to feed an army. Her splendid sandwiches and cakes are abundant enough to provide take away. She infuses the class with her enormous energy, and when not playing herself, buzzes around, giving help to those of us struggling with Crazy Chows, Apple Blossom and The Three Philosophers. Join a Mahjong class to find out more about this fascinating game.
Then there is Theresa, the other tutor. Theresa has been around for the 47 years of the life of KCLC, though she says she missed the first term. She has a treasure trove of stories about past members and tutors, and about Kalamunda history in general. Another caterer par excellence, she indulges us with profusion of home-made cannoli and other Italian delights.
The two of them astound us with their ability to play their own hands, while at the same time memorising the hands held by other players then nudging us when we blank out and miss the discards we’re meant to be watching for.
We are all extremely grateful for the time and energy given by two amazing women.
