Our youngest player


Someone has been practicing I think..
A new player to the game who seems very keen..He has mastered the basics very quickly and while playing him this week noticed that he is starting to use some strategy in his game. Building a nice 5 prime in his home board, then putting me on the bar for several throws. And he's only nine....



A good evening at the Firebrand this Thursday. Several family members turned up as well as one regular
player from the Pint & Post evenings.




You have to keep your strength up while playing. A selection of nibbles helps..

Flyers placed today at No8 Cafe in Launceston thanks to Adrian for that.. 

Next meeting Wednesday 29th July at the Pint & Post.. All welcome...

Pint & Post etc


A good night once again at the Pint & Post.. A new player to the game turned up . She had never played before but picked it up very quickly.
Although there was only a few players available, several good games were played during the evening.

Bad news for me...Due to unforeseen circumstances I will not be attending the "Backgammon in the sun" event that I was so looking forward to in Bristol.
Maybe next year.

Total players coming to weekly meetings are going up all the time.  Not everyone can make it every week but we now have a steady core of players.

Backgammon in the sun

Hoping to go along to Bristol in a couple of weeks for this....
Maybe a trip to Ikea on the way back to keep Mrs Lansongammon happy.. (Tiz all good...)

New Member???


Spent this evening teaching my nephew how to play Backgammon. He picked up the basics very easily and seemed to enjoy his games.
Think there could be a new club member in the wings..


Next meeting is at the Firebrand Launceston Thursday 9th 19:30--21:30

Pint & Post results for yesterday


Arrived down at the Pint & Post and just one person was there drinking. After a short chat it was decided that I would have a go at teaching him how to play.
One game later and he had picked up the game with little problem. (Maybe a new member in the wings. )



About one and a half pints later and another player arrived. He was the only other player to turn up all evening.. Not that it mattered. Gaming juice was consumed and a lot of Backgammon was played.
All together a good evening.


On the League front I have completed the relevant page on the website. Although "hidden" at the moment it will be going live very soon ready for 1st August.
 

Next meeting will be at the firebrandbar in Launceston on Thursday 9th July. For a 19:30 start.

Fame


Fame at last...Last week I emailed the Cornish and Devon Post about the fact that we existed and about what the club was doing.
They mailed me back for more details and here is the result. Page 9 of today's C&D.

Free advertising for the club and hopefully some new members may come along too.

Very late, but don't forget tonights meeting at The Pint & Post 19:30--21:30
