Backgammon at the Magnolia was a success and everyone seemed to really enjoy it. SO there is a plan to do it again.


Lots of people have PMed me to say can they come next time (as I'm away on work this time, half term etc.) and the folks that run the Magnolia are really keen to make it a regular, maybe with middle eastern food and other such tempting things.


There was a really good mix of players, from experienced to complete beginners, and the ones with more experience turned out to be brilliant teachers. Even the bar staff ended up playing, so I think we now have a head of steam to run another one or even a regular night. I am thinking once a month...


The food seems really tasty at the Mag, so you can have a snack and a drink or two while you play. Lovely.... memories of summer holidays for me...


I will keep you posted on the date of the next one

x to all gammoners charliecharlie


only thing missing was the sand and sunshine

    • I'm laughing at the reason for your edit 🤣
    • Please don't start now! Vapes still contain nicotine and you can still get addicted.
    • Would downstairs at  the EDT work? It is very noisy at weekends, but  quiet on some weekdays (though sometimes there are mum and baby gatherings!), the back room is nice and the food is ok and reasonably priced. I'm not sure about disabled toilets, you would need to check that out, but there are men's and women's toilets on the ground floor. Or The Palmerston or The Lordship, though I think their food is more expensive and the space isn't so nice as the EDT (in my opinion). I'm assuming in each place you can just have tea, coffee or soft drinks. You would have to ask about the specific food requirements, but surely these days most if not all places serving meals cater for things like vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free/dairy free needs?  Or, Franco Manca (pizzas) do vegan aka dairy free  cheese options I think (one of my grandchildren is dairy free, but I can't now remember if we had to take our own cheese in for her when she was little - a long time ago! Haven't eaten there for years, so I don't know what it's like now). Or, can't remember if it has been mentioned already, but possibly the Italian place near the bus stop - Due Fratelli??  - though it's not particularly cheap, there aren't a lot of vegetarian options in the pasta range (though the ravioli was tasty) and I can't remember if the toilets are on the ground floor or downstairs, or if there is a disabled toilet.
    • I am looking to move, and searching for boxes!
