Hearty
congratulations to long time Newcastle member Greg Mitchell on his success
in an online tournament on the weekend. Greg now gets to play 2009 World
Championship winner
Masayuki Mochizuki,
online, at a date and time to be set. Good luck Greg!
19 players for round
8 of the Club Championship last Friday. As we've had 22 players play at
least 1 round this year it was a top turnout.
Andrew Jones continues to romp away at the top of
the table of the Newcastle Backgammon Club Championship, his 2nd placing
good enough to extend his lead to 7 over Brian Ramsey with Mick Dyett
climbing 3 spots to third after a win. Bruce Parr, Tony Walker, Gerhardt
Macor and Alan Cathcart are all within 4 points of second place.
Winners on night 7 were Les Pierpoint, Shaun Harding, Gerhardt Macor, Mick
Dyett and Viginia Jones.
The "Jackpot" was won by Andrew Jones and stays at $10 next
meeting.
A list of dates for the first half of the year are available via the future
dates link above. The second half of the year dates will be available ASAP.

2013 NSW Open
The 2013 NSW Open has been completed with John Beeby defeating Kevin Jessop
in the best of 3 match final 8-9, 9-2, 9-7. Close run thing in 2 of the 3
matches by the looks of it.
Newcastle members Mick Dyett and Bruce Parr made it through to the last 8.
A full report, quite likely from Steve Davy, should be available in the
coming days.
The club's AGM was held recently. Details via the AGM link at the bottom of
the page.
Perth has a new backgammon club meeting, unofficially at this stage, at the
Empire Bar,
220 Great Eastern Hwy,
Rivervale. Contact details on the
Links page
The 2012 Australian Open was held in early December with
defending Champion Ian Dunstan defeating Steve Davy in the 3 match final.
Steve Davy's report along with some photos can be found on Simon Woodhead's
site at

2012 Newcastle Open
The result of the 2012 Newcastle Open can be found on the
Open Details page.
All players are reminded that being available by 7:15 so a
draw can be organised is appreciated. Those who know they will be late
should contact BRUCE PARR on 0439675201 especially in the first 6 meeting
weeks as I will be missing most of them.
It is also asked that players move on in a timely manner from match to
match, without any undue delay, to avoid matches being incomplete at the end
of a night.
For many years the club has issued a newsletter called The Blotter
on an "as needed" basis. With the advent of the website, a natural
progression for issuing information is the development of this page.
All the latest information regarding club activities, including finals, tournaments,
visits etc will be posted here on a fortnightly basis.
Club members are welcome to
submit items of interest (both related and non-related to Backgammon)
so as there is always something new to view! Other club Tournament organizers
may also submit information which may be of interest to our members.
