Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Please note that we will continue at the CSC but are looking at alternatives when the Club is booked or closed around Christmas.

About Our Backgammon Group Our group started in June 2015 - that’s over 10 years ago! Since then, we’ve held nearly 450 official backgammon meetups and well over 200 off-grid gatherings besides. With nearly 2,000 members, we’re the largest backgammon group in the UK - what makes our group special is the warmth, humour, and friendliness everyone brings to the board. We typically meet fortnightly on Sundays, with around 20 or so regular players and new faces each time. Everyone’s welcome. Dinner, Drinks and Playing Time We usually sit for a relaxed group meal around 6pm, but you’re free to order food and drinks whenever you wish. RSVP Please RSVP as soon as you can. It helps to know numbers in advance, especially as this is a new venue for us. Bring Your Own Board If you have a backgammon board, please bring it along. Don’t worry if you don’t yet own one - just post a note on the Meetup page or message me. It’s also fun seeing the wide variety of board styles people bring. Meetup fee: £4 per person. This modest contribution helps cover rising admin, hosting, and other organisational costs. Etiquette Let’s keep things friendly with each other, and please do thank the staff at Gest for hosting us. If anything comes up during the event, just have a quiet word with me. Backgammon Rules We play under international backgammon tournament rules, with one or two small exceptions. You can find the details on our Meetup page. My Contact If you need help finding the place or have questions, call or text me on 07956 263451. (Please avoid sending Meetup messages within two hours of start time, as I might not see them.) Looking forward to rolling dice and sharing another brilliant Sunday with you all - this time at our new trial venue! Best wishes, Chris Sattaur

Merry Christmas to you all. Have you ever wanted to see the Christmas festivities London has to offer in either the form of a walk, Christmas market and/or much more? If so, this may be the right one for you. Welcome to another one of the CHRISTMAS events where you have the opportunity to embrace the Christmas festivities that London has to offer. 
With this particular event, it’ll take place from the O2 to Cutty Sark. It begins with a scenic river walk. We then finish off at cutty sark where Greenwich market is. Since it’s Christmas, they offer not only gorgeous food but also merchandise and anything festive within. It’s one of the few markets that also gives off a Christmas ambience. After that, we’ll finish off at ‘Ole and Steen’ for some Danish bakeries and some warmth if you wish. Here is the itinerary to summarise: 1:30pm: Await the members 1:50pm: Depart for the walk 3pm - 4pm: Explore and possibly eat at the market 4pm - 5pm: Head to ‘Ole & Steen’. This is the opportunity to explore the Christmas markets, eat, drink, make new friends but most importantly, have an enjoyable yet memorable experience. You don’t have to but if you enjoyed the event and if you want, I’m more than happy to accept optional donations. Even if you donate £1, it helps not only myself but you guys too by unlocking pathways for even more potential events and resources: https://www.paypal.me/calvinjoy
