Mahjong is coming to Thursday Game Day, because clearly we like to keep things interesting. This classic tile game joins Dominos, Mexican Train, and Bridge as another way to pull up a chair, exercise your brain, and enjoy good company.
Never played? Perfect. Mahjong at Game Day is learn-as-you-go, low-pressure, and very social. Ask questions, laugh through mistakes, and settle into the rhythm, this is not a tournament, it’s a good time.
And of course, no Game Day is complete without lunch from Chef Ralph, which just might be the best reason to stick around and play one more round.
Planning to play? Please RSVP with Herb, our Game Day coordinator, so we know how many tables to set and who’s in the mix.
Come for the tiles. Stay for the food. Leave with new friends.
The new year begins with a full and lively calendar at Ha’Penny Beach Club, blending great food, meaningful connection, and plenty of reasons to spend time together. From signature dinners to daytime gatherings and a few special highlights, January sets the tone for the year ahead.
One of the most important dates this month is our Ha’Penny Annual Member Meeting & Luncheon on Saturday, January 10. We’ll gather at 11:00 AM for the meeting, followed by lunch at 12:00 PM, a chance to reflect on the year behind us, look ahead, and reconnect as a community.
We’re also introducing something new: Friday Night Pub Night on January 16, from 5:00–8:00 PM. This relaxed evening with lite bites is designed for easy conversation, catching up after the holidays, and welcoming seasonal members back to the Club.
Food lovers won’t want to miss Chef Ralph’s Showcase Dinner on Saturday, January 24, a special evening highlighting his creativity and culinary range. It’s the perfect night to invite friends or guests and enjoy Ha’Penny at its most inspired.
Throughout the month, members can enjoy a rhythm of beloved favorites:
Regular Dinners on Tuesdays, including January 6 and January 27
Steak Night on January 13
Fresh Catch Dinner on January 20
Book Club, Lunch & Game Day on Thursdays, January 8 and 22
Beach Walk, Lunch & Game Day on Thursdays, January 15 and 29
Several dinners this month will also welcome potential members, making January a wonderful time to introduce friends to the Ha’Penny experience.
Whether you’re joining us for a meeting, a walk, a game of cards, or a beautifully prepared meal, January offers something for everyone. We look forward to seeing familiar faces, and welcoming new ones, as we begin 2026 together at Ha’Penny Beach Club.
Are you a fan of strategy and friendly competition? We’re exploring the idea of adding Backgammon and Cribbage to Ha’Penny Beach Club’s Game Day lineup, and we’d love your input!
Backgammon is a classic game of strategy and luck, combining quick decisions with careful planning. Meanwhile, Cribbage offers a unique mix of card play and scoring, perfect for those who enjoy a fast-paced, brain-teasing challenge. Both games are easy to learn and endlessly entertaining for players of all levels.
If you’d be interested in playing Backgammon or Cribbage on Game Day, please reach out to Tom Rusling at tgrusling@gmail.com. Your feedback will help us determine if these games become part of our regular lineup.
Let’s make Game Day even more fun! Whether you’re a seasoned player or curious to learn, we hope to see you at the club.
