British Open (8-10 April)
All the results and report and photos can be seen HERE including details of the Japan Taunami Appeal. However, I would think that the best bit of news many of you will want to hear is that the Winner-Takes-All prize fund wasn't won and so we have a Rollover of £510 for the next event!
Britsh Champion - Julian Minwalla
I'd like to thank the Open's sponsor, playwsob for supporting the event and for supplying the trophies and online money credits for some of the winners.
County Cups Trophy (6-8 May)
The second of the year’s four Swiss Format events. Not only do entrants get to play 6 x 11 point matches, but the winner qualifies for the Christmas UK Finals in December with entry into the Last 16 plus two night’s accommodation for the price of one. But what interests you more is the Rollover of £510, which will almost double over the weekend, isn't it?
The English Open (3-5 June)
Another of Biba's national titles, offering the usual four elements and a guaranteed 1st Prize of £350. In addition to the usual Grand Prix points, this event is also a Biba Backgammon Tour event, giving every entrant the opportunity to gain points towards theGrand Final in January next year for the Top 8 players. Accommodation take-up is expected to be high so please reserve your room as soon as possible. NB: This event also features the draw of the Biba Backgammon Board Raffle (see below for details).
Biba World Championship (1-3 July)
If you can't make Monte Carlo, perhaps you can make Hinckley! It doesn't get bigger than this! This is Biba's third World Championship and yet another guaranteed payout of £500 to the winner.

Fantastic new raffle with a top prize of a Geoffrey Parker board valued at £1125! At the moment we have three boards as prizes and it is hoped that a couple more might also make a donation. However, with the top prize (to date) of the Geoffrey Parker board (a generous donation from Max Parker), and the Dal Negro board donated by The Regency Chess Company, plus the humble, Biba Tournament Board, it is still a pretty good raffle.
Lewis and his brother, James, are giving mum, Ann Brierley, a rest from fundraising and are both doing a summer dash on 3 July at Old Trafford Football Ground. James will be running it and Lewis will be in his wheelchair. If everything goes according to plan, the next time Lewis is at Old Trafford he'll be pushing James around in his old chair! If you'd like to make a donation for their efforts, please go to Lewis's final challenge.
