Backgammon Social at Inn on the Green on Wed

When: Wednesday 15 September, 7pm

Where: Inn on the Green, Paignton

Address: Esplanade Rd, Paignton TQ4 6BG

Hi Backgammon Lovers,

This is a new backgammon meetup group in Devon called Sapphire Backgammon. I look forward to meeting you at the Inn on the Green in Paignton.

Sapphire Backgammon

Players of all levels are welcome. Do encourage your friends, family and acquaintances to join our group, made up of many regulars, who regularly meet for friendly games and discussions.

If you're relatively new to the game drop me a line to let me know and I can forward to you a video to start you off on learning this game. I am also happy as I'm sure others will be to show you how to play this game that has a combination of skill, strategy and oodles of luck.

Purchase Drinks & Food

In order to use this venue, we are expected to purchase at least one or two drinks, and/or food from the bar.

RSVP on Meetup

Please RSVP asap - must provide the venue in advance with an idea of numbers.

Bring your own Backgammon Board

Love seeing the different styles and size of boards - my boards have somehow grown larger over the years. Please bring your own backgammon board. Should you not have a board please let us know in advance via the Meetup message board so that we can make an effort to bring sufficient boards to play on.

Meetup Cost

Even during the lengthy spell of Covid and lockdown I've had to pay Meetup about 100 pounds every six months and given this handsome ¹cost would appreciate a contribution of £2 .. is that all? I hear you say!

Duration & Social

Even in between the rolls of dice, or having a break, we enjoy a friendly social chat, a sit down meal and a drink or two. I aim to play until 10pm.

Respect and Courtesy

Know that I really don't need to say this but please be courteous and say thank you when being served drinks, etc. This sentiment is obviously extended with each other whilst playing our great game.

My Contact

Oh yes, one last point, should you get lost or need to get in touch my number is: 07956 263451. Would advise you not to post any messages on the board one hour before the Meetup as I am not always able to view and answer them, including after we start play - ideally text and/or try to call me.

Kind Regards,

Christopher Sattaur
Sapphire Backgammon Organiser
