A week to go

It's less than a week until our Board Game Day.

We are now rushing around putting final finishing touches to the event.

I have managed to get hold of some board games just in case people turn up without one. (It's bound to happen)
and I have a couple of people loaning me games.
The raffle is going very well with some great prizes from businesses around Launceston.

The next thing on the list is to make cake and anything else we can think of to 

a.) Help fundraising
and
b.) Keep the gamer's going.

We will be there from 10am. Ample Free parking.....

New Board

I was doing a general search on EBay last week and came across a 21" Backgammon board at a fairly reasonable price.
Several mins of discussion followed with Mrs Lansongammon before clicking the buy now button.
After waiting for my echeque to clear and then for the postman to arrive I now have my first full size board to play on.
Up until now I have used 15" boards. Which although are just fine, don't give the feel of a full size board.
                                                                                                                                                                                    

 All I need now is some time to play..

Next Lansongammon meeting: Tuesday 31st May at the "Pint & Post".
If you want to learn or are just interested please come along.

New Logo

After hearing about a website called Fiverr.com I thought it was about time that Lansongammon had their own custom made logo.
I quickly found a suitable seller and within 24hrs of the order being placed I had three designs to choose from.

After much thought and deliberation this is the logo that has been chosen. Together with a nice new tagline.

 

The only problem now is that I have to shift all the fliers and business cards that we have so that I can order new with this design.
I see pens, keyrings and caps on their way.  :-)

Several updates have been made to the site: We now have a countdown clock to the #BigBoardGameDay event.
The event page has been updated and a map to the event location posted together with the full address.
A new picture has been added to the gallery together with a whole rearange and tidy up.

New E-MAIL address

Well our website and e-mail subscription is up for renewal..

The website is staying the same but I have cancelled my email subscription.
It came free with the website but I'm expected to pay for the renewal. (Not good)

It's had very little use really so I think it would be fine to use a free Gmail account in the future.




I have set up a nice new address it's  Lansongammon@gmail.com
