With the 2020 UK Tour cancelled, and many individual tournaments either cancelled or postponed, many of us are resorting to online play for the foreseeable future. At least there is a brand new live event to look forward to, exactly one year from now, which John Wright is proud to announce….
Our events have pretty much been decimated, and for the foreseeable future there is little light at the end of the tunnel due to so much uncertainty.
So to give you something to look forward to Kev and I will be hosting the Festival of UK Backgammon at the Liner Hotel in Liverpool, conveniently located just 50m from the railway station.
One year from now 16/17/18 April 2021 you are all invited to Liverpool to take part in this event.
Preparations are at an early stage but each of the three days will have stand alone tournaments and the main theme of the three days will be the option to play a lot of backgammon.
The events will suit every ability and every pocket.
The venue has been secured and we will release more details of the whole event in the near future.
We already have 45 entries from my posting on another platform so a decent start 🙂
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
John Wright
Update May 2020: The UKBGF is pleased to announce that the Festival of UK Backgammon will include the 2021 UK Clubs Championship, also at the Liner Hotel, on Sunday 18th April 2021.
Please note that since this blog post was published it has been announced that the 2021 UK Clubs Championship will be held on Sunday 18th April 2021 at the Liverpool Liner Hotel, as part of the Festival of UK Backgammon. This addition will make the event even more unmissable.
There will be a limit on the number of teams, so look out for announcements when team registration opens during the coming months….
