Live Backgammon is Back!

Yes – we will all be playing together in The Lancastrian Suite!

Kev Jones, Mark Calderbank and I have decided to run the Blackpool Imperial Cup this year albeit on a slightly later date – the weekend of 25th-27th June. We are confident that with the cooperation and support of players and the hotel we can make the comeback a success. We fully expect all events that usually take place will go ahead including the popular triples, poker and traditional Sunday evening curry night out. As well as our regular valued board sponsors 869-BG (Erhan) and Bone Club, we are delighted to welcome Gammoner as a new sponsor. You will be able to win one of their superb boards in the ‘Gammoner Trophy’.

Sold out within two days, a full field of 128 players participated in Backgammon London’s annual end of season event.

Sponsored by P-40, who generously provided three boards, and GammonVillage, who likewise provided three boards for the runners-up, the event as ever ably organised by David and Jill, produced a wonderful weekend of tournament backgammon amid great sportsmanship – all highlighting the wonderful community we have, appreciated by us all in these trying times.
