Encourage someone to start a group
The poster ‘Why not start a Mah-Jong group?’ in ‘Downloads for Clubs‘ may help.
…
Learning the rules
Start with a simple, pared-down version of the BMJA rules. . .SSee ‘Mah-Jong, some basic rules’ in ‘Downloads for Clubs‘.
When you are happy with this move on to the next stage, and follow my gentle introduction to the full rules. See Learning the game in stages.
A lot of players find my playing aids very helpful.
…
How many people do you need?
Although the game is meant to be played by four players it works OK for three. So 6 to 8 players will give you two games and 9 to 12 will give you three.
…
Where to play
Play in someone’s home if you have sufficient tables.
Consider getting a card or bridge table. See here for help or maybe hire a local community hall for a couple of hours a week.
…
Attracting new members
The poster ‘Why not join our Mah-Jong group?’ in ‘Downloads for Clubs‘ may help.
If there’s an appropriate general meeting, why not stage an exhibition game of Mah-Jong?
Hand out cards / fliers with your contact details on (which again can be found in Downloads for Clubs‘).
