Winni The Pooh Plays Backgammon

Found this on the internet web thingy

Made me chuckle.

 

Second Backgammon at the Firebrand

  
Yesterday was our second meeting at the Firebrand bar. A good evening with four players in total.
 

  
As was mentioned on the night.. Even with only four players we are now the biggest Backgammon club in Cornwall. (Unless you know better).
The next meeting will be on the 14th May at 19:30. If you are interested in learning or just fancy a game please come along.

Tonights the night

Next meeting...This Thursday 30th April at the Firebrand..

UKBGF Membership fees.

 
I was recently looking at the UKBGF website joining page. As far as I can gather they are not open for payments yet.
The costs involved got me thinking about the type of membership I would like. As they say on their page, you should join at the highest level that you can afford.

Well for me that would be £25.00 for the basic membership as £40.00 is a lot for me in one go.

However, if they offered a Direct Debit option split into three or four payments to split the cost I would go for the higher £40.00 premium membership.
I know to some people the £15.00 difference may not seem much but when you have to watch the £££ then
£10 ish a month is far more attractive than forking out £40.00 in one go.

Just a thought as I think many people would like to have the option. And the extra £15.00's would soon make a difference.

UKBGF Basic Membership

Don't forget Backgammon at the Firebrand.

Thursday 30th April 19:30-21:30

First meeting..Results..

Well The 16th has been and gone.         What happened??

Well I was a little worried that either

A: Nobody would bother to turn up.....  or
B: Loads of people would appear expecting a slick ready formed club.

In the end we had four people turn up, Myself and the wife account for two. The other two consisted of someone that works for the venue who had changed shifts just to play, and the other had traveled some distance just for a game.
Things are looking up for next time as four more people have shown an interest in coming along.

The venue seems ideal for our purposes and with all participants ordering food and drinks helping to swell the till slightly it's win win all round..

I'm carrying on with the Facebook and Twitter advertising campaign and a poster / flyer blitz is on the cards.  

Next meeting Thursday 30th April 19:30 at the  Firebrand  Don't forget this Wednesday Chess and this Thursday Scrabble.
