Our Darts Club

Former resident, Lora van der Merwe, recently told the author that she and her late husband, Hennie, started the Darts Club in 1995. She could not remember the exact date. They lived in U35 at the time. Lora is currently a resident of Palms Renaissance in Pretoria.

Mark Twain referred to adults playing darts (and billiards and tiddly winks and …) as a sign of a misspent youth. Yet, the game has been very popular with residents for the past 23 years. In fact, it is possibly the most enduring of all the social activities in our village.
