Doria,

Thank you so so much for this post! I tried putting the word around about BG on this forum some last year and got absolutely zilch response.

Say the word BACKGAMMON to me and you will get my full attention! As it happens, I was playing this weekend in The London Open Backgammon Tournament held at Browns, in St Martins Lane, WC2.

The venue had 64 tables, played in 3 rooms with 128 players. It was electric! Serious money too, or just for fun - winner of the pro tournament went home with £16,000 (sixteen thousand) - but half of the 128 players were amateurs (including me, I might add!). Yet, just to be in the same room as the (deadly) pro's AND playing warm - up games against them was simply awesome!

I didn't know about Ealing's BG club. I'd heard that it got disbanded. So, Nigel, thanks for providing the number: I will definitely be calling in the morning!

Doria, you should also google Backgammon in London. It was they who organised the London Open. Meetings take place twice a month on a Monday evening. One meeting is in The Durrell Arms, Fulham (Munster Road / Fulham Road junction) and the other takes place at Camden Lock. (check the website for details).

Doria, listen again to this: go to 1hr 3 mins into the programme! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00s15xp

Fancy a game? Then Personal Message me!
