With many participants aged 22 – 65, whether they were new or experienced players, everyone had a fabulous time.
Our next event will be in the Spring – To be announced. Follow our social media for more details.

We wanted to provide some updates on our XYZ Generations Adults Group:
We have changed the name of the group: Mixers for the Middles!
We hosted a Foraging Tour led by Vancouver Island Tours. The weather turned out perfectly for this amazing forest walk in Coombs, where we learned what to put in our salads (year-round!) what we can pick to eat or drink, and how to make a natural, bubbly juice!
We aim to hold events for the group quarterly throughout the year.
We plan to run a Ticket to Ride Game in February 2024.
