BikeGammon 2018 - Be part of history


BikeGammon is a backgammon tournament played in a series of venues over one weekend. The mode of travel between the venues is motorbike.

To be eligible to enter, you must be able to play backgammon and travel by motorbike.

When: Thursday 19th April - Monday 23rd April 2018*
Where: Southern England

We'll meet on the south coast - within an hour or so of London - and play the first round of matches there.
 
We'll travel on carefully selected, biking-friendly roads, never overreaching ourselves in terms of distance, and play subsequent matches on the evenings of Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The backgammon will be organised by Dicky Biddle of North London Backgammon renown. The rest will be organised by me - Simon Hopper.
 
The winner will hold the Magnificent BikeGammon trophy for one year.

This trophy attracts beautiful lovers, enhances your charisma, bolsters your libido and generally burnishes your otherwise ordinary life.**
 
This is year two. There may be a year three, four, five and so on. Let's see.
 
 
DETAILS
NUMBERS: Entrants are limited to 8. First-come first-served.
 
PRIZE MONEY: There may be optional side-pools arranged at the time.
 
ROUTES, VENUES, TOURNAMENT DETAILS: will be finalised in good time - watch this space. Accommodation will tend towards the budget end of the spectrum.
 
DEPOSIT: A deposit of £50.00 secures a place: send your contact details to simon@simonhopper.co.uk and I'll let you have payment info. Deposits are refundable if the event does not take place or if a replacement is found in an otherwise fully subscribed event.
 
 
Well, you're only young once!
