Wednesday May 29th 2024

 We had 27 players tonight and no newcomers.

Dilhun again filled in for an unwell Gary and this time managed to take out top spot.

Michael Raptis was the drawn jackpot but, for him a night which will live in infamy, he ended up the wooden-spooner.

VALE JAMES LYONS

 

James Lyons 1974-2024

We sadly announce the sudden passing of one of our members,
James Lyons, a kind and thoughtful man who will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathy to his family.

Wednesday May 15th 2024

 A good turnout of 28 players tonight.

We welcomed two new players to our ranks, Michael Krashias and Chris Malcolm, who had the temerity to take out a prize.

We also welcomed Greg Ash, secretary of ANZBGF, who drove from Jarvis Bay to join us. He went home licking his wounds after sustaining three losses at the hands of the mighty Sydney Backgammoners!

Rafael Chattah was (again) drawn the jackpot but this time failed to convert.

Wednesday May 8th 2024

We had 28 players tonight.

Antonio Andolfo was the drawn jackpot but the elusive prize was denied.

Giantslayer hopeful, Carol Wakelin, tried unsuccessfully to deprive Ladder Leader Gary Stavrou of some points.

Wednesday 1st May 2024

 24 players, tried and true, in tonight's battle.

Rafael Chattah was the jackpot and took the coveted prize.

David Reitzin was declared Player of the Month for April but, being absent, forfeited his free entry.

Carol Wakelin was drawn the Giantslayer and accepted with alacrity the challenge of playing Ladder Leader Gary Stavrou.

John Symon was relieved not be the night's wooden spooner two weeks in a row.
