New Facebook page

After much murmurings and scratching of head I finally worked out how to create a Facebook page and as a bonus a Facebook event page.
Our nice shinny new Facebook page can be found at www.facebook.com/lansongammon

If you live locally (or not) pop over and take a look.

Don't get lost....On the 16th April

UKBGF Membership number 1

Recently the UKBGF have announced that they will be starting to accept members to this new organization.
They recently auctioned off membership number 1 at their scope charity tournament raising a very substantial £1700.00 for scope.
The winning bidder was James Ramsey who now has lifetime membership as well as member number 1..

Many congratulations from Cornwall.

They are now going to auction off the higher numbers as a wanted "cherished" number e.g. 007 etc.
So if you are interested before the "normal" membership opens then pop over to their website for details.

If, like me you just want normal membership as you don't have buckets of cash down the back of the sofa. Then membership opens on April 1st..
 

Facebook club page coming soon.

I'm hoping to set up a Facebook page today for the Launceston club. It seems strange to be posting here and on twitter then soon on Facebook when we haven't had our first meeting yet.
But it's all good advertising..If people don't know about the club I suppose I cant moan if nobody turns up.

So watch this space for New Facebook details.. Don't forget you can follow on Twitter. @LANSONGAMMON  

First get together will be Thursday 16th April at the firebrand Launceston.

Although I intend to be playing some Backgammon on the day, I'm thinking that the first meeting will be more of an indicator of who is interested in coming along to future meetings. Mainly to give me a guide of just how many Backgammon sets will be needed at meetings.

If you are intending to come and you have a set, feel free to bring it along to play with.

Hoping to see you there......It would be great if you could post a comment below if you are intending to come. Just so that I have an idea of numbers.....

There will be chess too

It's been a day or two since I posted here. Mainly because we are still counting down to our first meeting on the 16th April and there is not much to tell yet.

If you are interested in chess there will now be a weekly chess club meeting at the Firebrand bar starting on the 15th April. See advert above for details.

If you can make it to our first Backgammon meeting all are welcome whatever level of play you are at.. Beginner to Pro. Or just pop along for a chat and a drink..

Link as promised.

Well we have made the big time. We have been added to the UKBGF list of clubs and a piece about the up coming event is on their blog.
As promised in a previous post if you click the link above you should find our mention and if you look in their clubs page, there we are....

Don't forget, it's only a month today until the Backgammon in Lanson launch..

Firebrand Advert

 This is a Facebook advert that Firebrand posted to advertise the event.

I recently sent an e-mail to UKBGF to let them know about the event. Dates times etc.
I haven't heard back as yet, but when I do I will post a link to their page so you can see our listing in all its glory..
