Backgammon Club in Putney

Probably mid-week evening or Sunday afternoons. This might evolve into a pop-up board games club in the future but we’re starting off with something classic. Please let us know if you’re interested and whether mid-week or Sunday would be better and we will write to confirm further details. catseyeclub2019@gmail.com

Great idea Mark, but being a retired old fart, I would prefer sometime in the day (not Sunday).  But good luck, excellent idea!!

Hi Bunny!  The first evening will be Thursday 30th May - either at the Sampler or the Bricklayer’s Arms depending on the number of players. We’d love you to come along. Please let me know at catseyeclub2019@gmail.com if you can.

Got your email. Thanks.I'll definitely be there. 3 questions: Do I need to bring my board? Will we be playing for money? Will we be using the doubling cube?

Hi Simon.  I'm pretty sure we can't play for cash unless the venue has a gaming licence so I think it'll just be for honour at the moment.  Players can still use the doubling cube for pips provided the opponent agrees.  And do please bring your board.  We should have a few tables running at the same time.

I think most pubs allow gaming for modest stakes and the doubling cube is an integral part of the game. Anyway we can thrash these details out when we meet 30th. I'm assuming either you or Mark will let me know which venue.Thanks and good weekend.
