Phil Churton wins the Jackpot.
In November 2005 Phil Churton won the Jackpot and he did it again this
month too. This time it paid for a little holiday - very nice too - I bet
he grinned every time he paid a bill wherever it was he went. Simon
Morecroft came back to his Bg in Camden winning ways and took Tournament 2
which was a £40 entry event. Pete W's name keeps on cropping up on the
winners boxes on the chart and this month he took Tournament 3.
Monica Beckerson, she of reel to reel bg film fame, showed she can still
strut her stuff and won Tournament 4. Gary Sefton, on his first visit to
BG in Camden, took Tournament 5 to welcome him aboard and that man Ray
Kershaw took Tournament 6.
That other man, Mike Main, was now back in the North Island of New Zealand
and still living for the moment so once again he failed to email Phil
Simborg to ask for this months quiz. Instead he was in Kaponga, Taranaki
running, can you believe it, a backgammon tournament over there. The venue
was something else - it would never be granted a license in the UK -
floors would give way when you step on them, there were holes in walls and
windows, the electrics would blow every time there was a storm outside but
for all that it had a charm that is wonderful. The Tournament was only a
small one made up of the local players there but we had a good time all
the same:
