Eight players attended our November meeting & this was ideal for starting the league.
Martin, Graeme, Don & Pol all got off to a flying start with two wins.
There is still time for anyone else to enter as the season is to run until the end of April 2016.
At
the start of the evening's play a quiz was handed out with three
backgammon positions. Graeme & Keith got two answers correct &
each won a book prize. Well done to both! The quiz is reproduced at the end of this post, why not try it yourselves?
Don
was also awarded a book for his outstanding achievement in winning the
first two monthly tournaments whilst Alan won the better luck next time
award as we wish to encourage all members to achieve future success.
Don Irving - outstanding achievement award
Keith Gill and Graeme Turner - joint quiz winners
Alan - better luck next time!
There is to be a special club meeting at 2pm on Saturday 14th November at the Royal Legion. The
address is 3, West Jesmond Avenue, close to West Jesmond Metro station,
leaving the station on the east side of the line. Anyone travelling by
Metro north from the city centre will need to cross the footbridge (or
use the foot tunnel).
The
County has served us well however there is more room & better
lighting at the Royal Legion so this is a chance to view our likely new
premises. All are welcome & it is an opportunity to play league
matches.
