Backgammon at Gest on 5 April, Euston Sq St. Social Dinner n Drinks - 20pc off
Date/Time: Sunday 5 April 2026, 3 ā 8pm (and likely a few hours beyond!)
20% off food and drink for our group
First-timers: please see notes below on the Meetup fee, bringing boards, etc āŗļø
Dear Backgammon Lovers,
Another big hug and thank you to Lydia for covering backgammon last Sunday at Gest.
Weāre delighted to announce another gathering at Gest again, literally just next to one of Euston Square's tube exits.
Gest has become a favourite spot for our lively and friendly backgammon gatherings, offering us more space and a relaxed atmosphere, with warm and welcoming staff.
Social Backgammon
Whether youāre a seasoned player or completely new, everyoneās welcome. Our Sunday afternoon offers a mix of friendly competition, laughter and the occasional lucky double six. Add alongside this, the food, drinks and easy conversation, and youāve got the makings of a relaxed afternoon rolling dice into a fun evening.
20% off food and drink
In order for us to be at Gest, we must each order at least one drink, possibly two, and if possible one of their meals - I can highly recommend their chicken burger. This will help us to maintain such a generous deal in a comfortable atmosphere.
Gest has generously offered our group 20% off food and drink for this event.
About Our Backgammon Group
Our group started in June 2015 and has now run more than 400 official meetups plus over 200 informal gatherings. With just over 2,000 members, weāre the largest backgammon group in the UK, and we're known for our warmth, humour and friendliness. We typically meet fortnightly on Sundays, with around twenty or so regulars along with new players each time.
Everyone is welcome, whatever your level.
Dinner, drinks and playing time
We usually sit down for a relaxed group meal around 6pm, but youāre free to order whenever it suits you. Many people arrive early, stay late, and dip in and out of games between food and drinks.
RSVP
Please RSVP as soon as you can, as it really helps with planning, especially at this popular venue.
Bring your own board
If you have a backgammon board, please bring it. If you donāt, just post a note on the Meetup page or message me and weāll match you up. Itās always fun to see the variety of boards people bring along.
Meetup fee
Ā£4 per person. This small contribution helps pay Meetup, cover tip, admin, hosting and other organisational costs that keep the group running smoothly.
Etiquette
Letās keep things friendly and respectful over the board, and please thank the lovely Gest staff for hosting us. If anything crops up during the event, just have a quiet word with me.
Backgammon rules
We play under international backgammon tournament rules, with one or two minor exceptions. Full details are on our Meetup page.
Contact
If you need help finding the venue or have any questions, call or text me on 07956 263451.
Please avoid sending Meetup messages within two hours of start time, as they may not be seen in time.
Looking forward to rolling dice and sharing another brilliant Sunday with you all ā and to celebrating the New Year at Gest for the fifth time.
Best wishes,
Chris Sattaur š¤
šæLove Dance Music? Euphoric Raveš @Iconic KOKOš§š¼
**Love dancing to hedonistic, highāenergy dance tunes?** Then join for our second edition of an euphoric, highāoctane dance music night with one of the finest French Swiss **danceāmusic DJs and Producers** out there dropin phenomenal uplifting spiritual, hypnotic melodic grooves for us to lose ourselves to in one of the most iconic venues in Londonās clubland ā **KOKO** Camden, in the home of music. Collectively - their music has amassed over 18 million streams.
Expect a proper dance music clubānight experience with inspiring immersive lightshows / lasers for our bodies to sync in harmony to as with gyrate to the **rhythms** of the night. Obvs there will be no uncool mainstream "touristy" pop rubbish but proper dance music - think - ecstasy inducing tunes you'd dance to at other music clubs like Lightbox, Egg, Bagleys, Ministry, Moondance, Fabric, Paradise,
Studio 54 (Brooklyn) spun by global DJs renowed in these genres.
We'll join up to 1,500 other fellow cool young trendy music lovers for a night of blissful musical tranquility, Average age range will be 18 to 35ish heavily skewed toward 20s men.
**Free Tickets limited.** Sorry but if you don't love both uplifting dance music and dancing to it - please don't rsvp and deprive genuine musical dancers an extremely rare free place! And honestly, if you're only gonna stay for less than a couple of hours there's probably no point in coming. You don't need to stay till 5am like last time but as per most proper clubs - the real revellers don't usually arrive untill 1ish and the main DJ / music sets don't even kick off till 12 so it's would be waste of a free ticket that you'd normally pay up to £70 quid for! Oh & please don't ask me about 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine - I'm not a biochemist - try your local Boots!
**=== Time To Make The Floor Burn But Early ===**
The only downside is we have to get in there before 11pm else regular door charge tickets will be about £45-80 quid. If you wanna pay for full price on door/ pre-buy and meet us in there later that's cool too as 11pm is understandably way too early to go a club (hence the free tickets) - we can sort out the details later. DM me for the free ticket link.
We'll meet beforehand somewhere quieter for pre-drinks, intros, banter and obviously music chats about our previous rave escapades, our fav tunes, and non-music related banter. As Koko gets packed by 2am (1500 standing dancing cap) and we have restricted free tickets - to avoid losing people - a small group size will be optimal for dancing and socialising so limiting RSVPs. Obviously you can dance with the other ravellers once they arrive. Will update with nearby super cheap pre-drinks Camden venue in the location and comments so keep an ear out

**About Just Gutsy**
**Just Gutsy** is a global community for solo travelers who are free spirited, love exploring the world believe that real connections make the best memories.
Hi, I am Syrine,
I started solo traveling in 2018 and it changed my life, from introvert to extrovert. Along the way, I loved meeting people, but also felt how hard it can be to find connection when traveling alone.
Iām building Just Gutsy so no one has to feel alone on the road ā and so anyone whoās still shy to take that first step has a welcoming place to start. š
Rock N Roll Showbiz Tour: Music, Radio, Theatre, Media, Film & TV + Drinks
If youāre artistic and creative ā or were always that kid who dreamed of working in exciting sexi professions of entertainment, fashion, music or the performing arts ā then this will be right up your street!
An insider showbiz and entertainment walk led by someone whoās lived inside the industry - a radio music founder, presentator and club DJ, a former Correspondent for a global News Agency bigger than the BBC, an advertising / media agency exe, a red-carpet luxury fashion brand strategist and a failed boy band muscian (I still got the spiked hair!). So you can expect stories to be told with real passion, authenticity, personality and first hand knowledge...
This 90 mins backstage wander will take you straight through Londonās creative arts & entertainment industry showbiz bloodstream. Weāre talking live broadcasting nerve centres, global pop stars, legendary stages, Hollywood hideouts, iconic comedy clubs, ad agencies that won general elections (think Nigella Lawson), recording studios, fashion designers, radio powerhouses, and the secret corners where reputations are negotiated over overpriced cocktails ā all set against the music soundtrack of a city thatās launched everything from Britpop to boybands to global club culture.
Youāll hear where the UKās biggest radio stations broke chartātoppers annd turned unknowns into global popstars, where stars of the film and stage made their name, how certain streets shaped entire genres, how comedians went from dingy basements to national treasures, and why Londonās music scene has always been the cityās loudest, messiest, most influential creative engine in the world
This free tour will unapologetically appeal to:
* **Popāculture lovers** who treat celebrity interviews and album drops like sacred texts
* **Creatives & media people** who love a bit of insider sparkle and know the difference between a PR stunt and a genuine cultural moment
* **Entertainment Culture lovers** who collect fun facts from music, film, art and can name their favourite live performance of all time
* **People working in or have a passion for films, theatre, radio, music, comedy, TV, dance, media, advertising** (**e,g M&C Saatchi)**, **performing arts** and everything in between
* Anyone craving something different and creative yet authentic, fun with just the right amount of chaos
Expect a crowd that gets excited about the things normal people pretend not to care about ā iconic ad campaigns, legendary performances, scandalous headlines, radio gossip, film magic, music history, and the beautiful mess of how culture actually gets made.
Youāll walk, youāll laugh, youāll learn things you absolutely did not expect, and youāll leave feeling like youāve unlocked a secret level of London ā the one where the stories, the scandals, and the soundtracks all collide

Puppy cuddles yoga and playtime
Practise yoga while the cute puppies roam acround youā¦
A typical puppy yoga class will have approximately 8-10 puppies with around 15 participants and the puppies can range from 8-14 weeks old.
Puppy yoga classes involve having puppies roaming from one mat to the next, leaping on participants, and tussling with other puppies as you try out different yoga poses. Often pups are incorporated into some of the yoga poses or they happily roam free throughout class.
All puppies are borrowed from a local breeder and we find the breeders from websites such as Kennel Club or Pets4Homes. On some occasions, Puppy Yoga gives the puppies an opportunity to be adopted, if they havenāt already found their forever home. The puppies get the chance to be around other people (not just their breeder) which enhances their socialisation.
In the first 3 months of a puppies life it is very important to expose your puppies to different people, new environments, sounds and smells. Puppy yoga is a safe and fun space that aids with our puppies socialisation.
Interactions with animals, especially puppies, has been proven to be extremely beneficial to our mental wellbeing. The hormone oxytocin is released, in both dogs and people, when puppies interact with someone they like. This provides stress relieving physiological benefits.

FULL - The Great Easter Egg Hunt | London 20s and 30s
**Spring is in the air and to mark the occasion, as always - we'll be following tradition and hosting our 5th annual Easter Egg Hunt, exclusively for 20s and 30s.**
Yep that's right - since 2022, we've hosted this yearly hunt across in Regentās Park which combines a traditional treasure hunt with clues, a mix of fun, challenges and of course, plenty of chocolate.
Over the afternoon - youāll be working in teams to decrypt a series of clues that will lead to a number of secret locations across the park where we've hidden a number of eggs š„
Within each egg, you'll find a hidden task or challenge you must complete as a team - designed to test your ingenuity, creativity, bravery and team work.
**Each successful challenge completed will earn you points and the team with the most points at the end of the hunt, will be crowned the champions š**
However, that's not all... as to hinder you and add an extra element of fun to proceedings ā thereāll also be some Easter Dinosaurs roaming in the park, who'll be seeking to trying to hunt you down.
If they catch you - you'll be at risk of losing points, so you'll need your wits about you to evade and escape their clutches š¦
And of course - no Easter celebration would be complete without a trip to the pub - where youāll be able to grab a drink and share experiences with those youāve met along the way, after the hunt is over.
It's always one of our most special occasions of the year and definitely one not to be missed this Easter!

Rabble - Fitness Through Games!
A Rabble session is 1 hour of fun and social team games.
Each game disguises high-intensity intervals within the rules, giving you an effective, all-body workout without even realising it.
We play a bunch of different games at each session (like British Bulldog, Capture the Flag, Dodgeball, Frisbee and many more), and every class is different.
Sessions are open to all, no matter your sporting ability. Each game is explained before we start, so there's no need to have played any of the games before.
Come solo or bring friends! And stay at the end for the social part!
Who knew getting fit could be this fun?
**TO BOOK**:
It's essential that you book onto sessions via our website, using the link below; due to restrictions on games and preparation times we cannot accept walk-ins, or late arrivals.

Dinner @ Due Amici
Someone told me about Due Amici and I hear it has some of the finest Italian food in town mangia bene, vivi felice! (eat well, live happy). Letās enjoy the great food, the conversations, and most importantly the amazing company we keep, guys.
Brunchapalooza
Get ready for a backyard brunch that feels like summer, smells like heaven, and sounds like a whole vibe.
Weāre turning the backyard into the ultimate brunch playground with music flowing, drinks pouring, and plenty of food. This is the laugh loud, grab seconds, refill your cup kind of brunch.
On the menu, weāre going all in. Fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, juicy sausage, golden pancakes and waffles hot off the griddle. Fresh bakes like warm cinnamon rolls and sweet coffee cakes that hit just right. And thatās just the start.
Weāll have cocktails mixed and ready, juices chilled, sodas on ice, and plenty more to keep the energy up. Think mimosas, good conversation, music in the background, and that perfect mix of sunshine and shade.
Itās about warm vibes, real connections, and food that makes you close your eyes on the first bite.
Pull up hungry, bring your best stories, and get ready for a brunch that turns into a whole experience.
Freestyle + Karaoke ! ! ! (bring wine)
**Karaoke Night**: Bring your glee club friends. Enjoy a flashback to your choir days. No chorus line. It's all you baby. Sing. Shout. Scream. Lip sync if you need to. But do show up and do have a good time.
**On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours.
**Glasses**: ā¦will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, itās still worth mentioning. We donāt have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please donāt mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still havenāt had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
