Two of our new Young players.

Last Wednesday at the Pint & Post.

Poppy (6) and Reuben (10) get a Backgammon lesson from Lynne (21+)

Reuben has been playing for several months now and Poppy thought that she would like to learn.

I wasn't sure how well she would take to it, but very quickly she was making moves with no help.

Think I will be losing games to them very soon. 

      

Poppy contemplating a tricky move.

Her first games of Backgammon.











Reuben not happy with the checker colours
that he is left with.

Another good evening spent playing Backgammon and sampling the Pint & Posts great food.
Roll on next week.
If you would like to learn how to play or would like a game why not come along next Wednesday. See our WEBSITE for details. 

Backgammon for children in need

We are thinking of doing something for Children in need 2015.

The plan is to do something like a 12hr Backgammon marathon or something similar. 24hrs would make for a better event but there isn't anywhere local that we could take over for that amount of time.

So then I'm thinking, how would I work this? Number of games over 12hrs in total as a target, or just constantly playing for 12hrs?
Some thought Is needed but I'm running out of time, there is only 2 weeks to go until the event on the 13th November.

I think a chat to our local pub is needed.. Watch this space for event details.

wise words

                                      So true, can't say I have the skill bit sorted yet.
                                                      But still enjoy my games.

Should be a good turn out tomorrow tonight, Fingers crossed. I know of several people turning up for a game with several eating first, so all good for the Pint & Post.
If you fancy a game why not pop along.. 19:30 start. See our website for directions.

Just another week.

Well another week has gone by..Wednesday night club meeting amounted to me and another regular who comes out to the village from Launceston every week.

So this week I have decided on a couple of things.

1. I have temporarily suspended the league and have taken down the web page for now.
    I will reinstate it  when we have more core players...
    I thought at one point that we were there, but  maybe    not quite yet.

2. Over the next couple of weeks I am starting a social media and flyer advertising
    campaign to try to attract some more members. 

                                                          WE WANT YOU...
