Fun & easy way to play more tennis (read event description)

We’re still working to get more people into these Meetups, but our goal is to give PlayYourCourt members a few social tennis outings each week in addition to your practice sessions and Challenge League matches. These Meetups are co-ed, super laid back, and all skill levels are welcome. Post your skill level and a suggested court in the comments section so we can round up as many players as we can for some tennis fun! Also, if you’re looking to meet new practice partners or play some matches and you aren’t already in the PlayYourCourt Community, you can go here to see what we’re all about and sign up: https://www.playyourcourt.com/tennis-community/columbus-oh/meetup/ If you love tennis, we’d love to have you!

Mini Paint Club @ Tabletop Game Cafe

Columbus Mastering the Art of Ink Wash

We are gathering for our next session of Columbus Mastering the Art of Ink Wash, and I would love for you to join us. This event is an opportunity for those interested in the traditions of East Asian brush painting to focus on the nuances of water-to-ink ratios and the specific brush techniques that bring these landscapes and botanicals to life. Whether you have been practicing for years or are just beginning to explore the medium, we will be spending the time working through exercises together and sharing feedback in a relaxed, supportive setting. This session is designed for anyone who appreciates the meditative nature of ink work and wants to improve their control and flow. We will have space set up for everyone to work, so please bring your own brushes and favorite ink supplies if you have them, though we will have some basic materials on hand for those who might need them. It is a great chance to step away from the daily routine and focus on a craft that rewards patience and intention. If you are planning to come by, please take a moment to RSVP so I can make sure we have enough table space for everyone. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting some new ones as we continue to explore the craft together.

Paint a Pumpkin! - Phantasma by Kaylie Smith

Let's paint some mini pumpkins while we discuss our October pick: Phantasma by Kaylie Smith Event: Please bring a bag of individually wrapped candies to share! Pumpkins and Paint will be provided. Book description: Welcome to Phantasma. There are only two rules to the game. Stay alive. And don’t fall in love. When Ophelia’s sister disappears, there is only one way to save her. Ophelia must enter Phantasma, a deadly contest inside a haunted mansion, and claim its prize—a single wish. Phantasma is a maze of twisting corridors and lavish ballrooms, of demons and temptations. Ophelia will face nine challenges, each more dangerous than the last. There can only be one winner, and the other contestants will stop at nothing to eliminate their rivals. Every day the house creates new monsters. But just as Ophelia’s fears threaten to overwhelm her, a mysterious stranger offers her a bargain. Charming, arrogant and infuriatingly attractive, Blackwell claims he can guide her through the lethal trials ahead. All he asks in return is ten years of her life. Ophelia knows she shouldn’t trust him. Blackwell doesn’t seem dangerous, but appearances can be deceptive. Worse still, she feels a dark and irresistible attraction drawing them closer and closer. Her life is on the line. But in Phantasma, the only thing deadlier than losing the game is losing your heart…
