Activities Open to the Public

Regular Activities at the Club

  • Pool Hall Afternoons

    Mondays and Thursdays. at 1 p.m.

    Play pool twice a week in our historic, atmospheric pool room. Members are willing to teach new friends. There are four tables, plus two billiards tables, and plenty of cues.

    Most days the players start with straight pool to 50, then, depending on the number of players, either 8 ball or 9 ball or sometimes cut-throat. Please contact Bill Peterson with any questions.

  • Candlepin Bowling League

    Our candlepin bowling league started up in winter ‘24/’25, meeting in our 110 year old bowling alley, and has been a big hit with club members and the general public. Beginners are wholly welcome! It’s a nice group. The current season is full, however, please feel free to email Sarah Hipple to be added to the waiting list!

  • FriendCon Board Game Night

    Saturdays at 6:30 p.m. Please check our website for up-to-date information

    Located upstairs in the Boardroom. $3 but no one is turned away for being unable to play. The public is invited to come join FriendCon organizers in open play board games and RPGs. Bring your own game, or play one of ours!

  • Duplicate Bridge

    Mondays at 12 p.m. Contact: Dottie Kelleher, Cape Carders DBC

    Wednesdays at 12 p.m. Contact Horace Gower, Greater Portland DBC

    The duplicate bridge games are run by ACBL directors. For more information, please go to their websites.

  • Improv Comedy Games

    Every Wednesday from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

    Leader: Peter Jacobs

    The Improv Comedy Incubator is a drop-in improvisational comedy space where people pay what they can (suggested $5) and play improv games without the pressure of an audience. There are a wide variety of games, but the entire point is that scenes are created on the spot with no prior planning. Sometimes scenes are hilarious in their own right, and sometimes the failure of the scene is where the hilarity comes from. It's a win-win! 

  • Portland Camera Club

    Mondays, 7:00 p.m. September through May.

    Contact: Richard Sawyer, Portland Camera Club

    Meetings are held via Zoom or in person either at Woodfords Club or on location. Visit Club Calendar - Portland Camera Club for location of meeting.

  • Dance with the Portland Westies
