“ Look for the backgammon boards ”

With summer coming some people have asked if it would be possible to have a meetup up on an evening during the week. Also perhaps we should not be too Leith centric wink . So will be looking for a venue up town. If anyone has some ideas could they let me know. If you have the time to organise a venue I would be especially appreciative. It does not require much to organise usually visiting the location checking out if possible to get a few tables near each other which can fit a BG board and a couple of glasses. So we dont have duplication let me know if you have an idea and are prepared to try to arrange the venue.

    • “ Had a brilliant time - was nervous about going but was made very welcome Definitely going again ”
    • “ it,s a pity so few people turned up but I still enjoyed myself. The venue is excellent , mine host not only served but is also one of our "gang"...bit of a demon on the board too! Hopefully, we,ll get more people at the next meet at Old Bakehouse....Cheers ! ”
