San Carlos Club Deportivo Activities Supporting Local Charities
San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico

Our ceramics program provides ceramic pieces made by the clay (slip) being poured into molds and sold as greenware to members to be fired and painted. We have an inventory of a couple of thousand molds. Anyone interested can come in and browse through the molds catalog or look among the sample pieces on display and choose a piece that like which will then be poured. We have a large variety of different types of paints and glazes and four kilns for firing. It is a several step process that require drying time, smoothing and cleaning by its new owner, firing in a kiln to harden it to bisque and painted either with an acrylic paint which, upon drying, is spray sealed. There are a variety of glazes which usually must be applied in three coats and then fired again.

Newcomers are welcome and more experienced members are always willing to help those new to the art. Our prices are for materials used. We have a ceramic show for display each year in March. Classes in mosaics, alcohol ink, and sculpting our own pieces are held with available instructors and a quilting/sewing group has also started.

Bridge is open to anyone that plays bridge.

Bridge challenges your memory, logic, and pattern‑recognition skills. Every hand is a little puzzle, and solving it is deeply satisfying. Unlike many card games, bridge is built around teamwork. When you pull off a finesse, execute a squeeze, or defend perfectly with your partner, it’s a rush. Bridge rewards skill in a way that feels earned.

Every number called builds a little suspense. You’re always one square away from something good happening, and that tiny rush keeps people hooked. Bingo is secretly a social game. People chat, laugh, tease each other about being “one away,” and celebrate wins together. It’s a built‑in community moment.

Doors close at 6:00 pm so that payoffs can be determined by the number of people present. You can play all night for $5.00 and the proceeds after the payouts are donated to a local charity. Popcorn is served, please bring your own refreshment.

This fun, safe activity involves lots of laughing and good-spirited fun. All level of players is welcome and there is no charge. Ping pong has this wonderfully chaotic, joyful energy to it — it’s one of those games that feels lighthearted on the surface but gets surprisingly intense once the rally starts. Two tables are playing at once and Paddles and balls are available.

Dinners are served at the Club and there is usually entertainment. Ticket prices are based on what is being served and is usually steak or pork. Dinners include an eighteen-foot salad bar, main, vegetable, bread, and desert. In addition, during dinners the Club operates a beverage bar.

Tickets are sold aproximately two weeks in advance of the dinners at Club Deportivo (all have been sell-outs).Remaining tickets are sold at local real estate firms. The St. Patrick’s Day corned beef and cabbage dinner is a specialty dinner, that sells out quickly. The Club asks that you bring your own plate-ware and utensils to each dinner. Takeout is available.
