Fun Times – The Boathouse

The Matabanick Inn had a great old boathouse. It was quite large and had one room that contained a “Ping Pong” table. Quite often guests of the Inn would gather to play the game, traditionally singles and doubles. I liked to join in and play. These games were a lot of fun, but not the most fun! The “best” alternative was “Round-Robin Ping Pong” 8 or 10 players would gather around the table. Two teams would be formed. The game would start with the first team player serving the ball. The second team player at the opposite end would then return the ball. The person to the left would then try to return the ball. If the player was successful, the next player would try to return that ball. This would keep happening until one of the teams couldn’t return the ball. A point would be awarded to the winning team. The team that reached 21 points would be the winner.

Needless to say, bedlam filled the room! Just imagine 8 to 10 people running around the room, yelling, swearing (a little), panicking and just generally, having a great time!

What amazing fun we would have in that old boathouse!
