BACKGAMMON IN AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND
What on earth is Mike doing reporting on bg down under for? Simply because I know a few of the guys down there and they've news that's worth reading. At least it would be worth reading if they'd submit some stuff as I've asked a number of them to do. But they've failed me left, right and centre. So here I am writing a piece myself and hoping the above goading will spur them into action (an easy trick pulled on antipodeans) with pen and paper.
 
 
 
But what about a story on the winner I hear you ask? And well you might.

That was another chap I met on my travels down under last year -
Mr Jay Diva of Sydney
who also runs an excellent session on some Sundays
on Darling Harbour in view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
