Backgammon Social at The Talk of the Town, on Sun 20 Feb, 6.30pm

When: Sunday 20 February, 6.30pm

Where/Address: Talk of the Town, Torbay Road, Paignton

Hi Backgammon Lovers,

This is a new backgammon meetup group in Devon and we are called Sapphire Backgammon. I look forward to meeting you at The Tslk of the Town

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.
I am also happy as I'm sure others will be to show you how to play. As you already know or will discover in time backgammon is 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.

Given that this is a very new group, if insufficient numbers of people have RSVPd two days before this event I might decide to cancel it. Please check the meetup message board and your messages.

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 9pm, but who knows if there are a few of us that decide to hang around until late, no problem.

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
