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 30th March - Monday 3rd April 2017
Where: Northern France
We'll leave by channel tunnel train from Folkestone early evening on Thursday 30th and return by late afternoon on Monday 3rd.
We'll travel in France on carefully selected, biking-friendly roads, never overreaching ourselves in terms of distance, and play our 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.
There will be a trophy.
We might do it annually. Let's see.
NUMBERS: Entrants are limited to 8. First come first served.
PRIZE MONEY: There will 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!
Simon Hopper
