WE ARE BACK!!!
Finally, after 4 long months of lockdown, The Sydney Backgammoners resumed play at North Ryde RSL last night.
Fourteen keen players fronted up with boards and masks in hand to play face to face.
Unfortunately , one player was turned away at the door as he only had a photo copy of his covid vaccination certificate , not a digital record.
John Symon was drawn as the fist jackpot player of the new season but was not able to take advantage of the situation .
Gary commented that, in spite of the lockdown, our club will have met more than half the year (34 out of 49 meetings). Therefore the Ladder would continue as usual and the ladder leader at the end of the year would be declared 2021 Club Champion. However, since our kitty collected only half the annual takings, the end-of-year Bonanza winners would have their prizes halved.
The winners were:
1st Angelo Voulgaris
2nd Carol Wakelin
3rd Ben Scarf
4th Dilhun Akpinar
