Puzzle Club

The FNCA Puzzle Club

Since at least the 1980's at camp, there's been a table in the Dining Hall by the Sales Table that's used by the very informal (whoever works on it is a member) FNCA Puzzle Club. There is always a good sized puzzle — usually of 1000 or more pieces — in progress on it. And at any random time during the day or night there may be from 1 to 7 or more people working on it.

When each puzzle is completed, it's left put together at the end of the table through the next meal so that anyone who is interested will get a chance to see the finished product.

"A Really FUN Puzzle!"

Several more people than usual worked on this, the first puzzle of the season, and everyone agreed that it was a really FUN puzzle. (Special thanks to Nancy Little for donating it.)

The FNCA Puzzle Club's first puzzle of the session (see the next photo) has all very unusually-shaped pieces.

"First Puzzle of the Session"

This puzzle belonged to a friend of the head of the Puzzle Club. There was no photo on the box and the friend wanted to know what the puzzle looked like, so we put it together for him, took a picture, and sent it to him. All of the pieces in this puzzle were very unusual --- the picture itself was kind of boring, but the pieces themselves more than made up for it. While we were putting it together, if someone came across a particularly weird shaped piece, they would often stand it up. If you look carefully, you'll find a camel, a rabbit, and a dog standing up on the far right, and several other animals standing up further back towards the center of the table.
