The quiz will commence at 6:00 p.m. sharp.
The highest scoring London player will receive a bottle of
champagne and the lasting glory of being the top placed UK player

The after dinner tournament will commence at 8:45 p.m.
and will take place at
The St Pancras
Grand Champagne Bar.
St Pancras is a 5 minute walk from the Tavistock Tandoori.

St Pancras has recently been refurbished to not only it’s former
intended glory, but is also an incredible piece of architecture so
this alone is a good reason to attend this event. The tables of
the Champagne Bar are just perfect for backgammon play.
Please bring a backgammon set and something warm as the Champagne
Bar can get a little bit chilly in the evenings.
Official tournament play will finish by 11:00 p.m.

Further backgammon
will continue in
The Betjeman Arms
which is also at St Pancras Station.
