We meet on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at Petros Winery and Restaurant at 4:30 PM starting on October 19th.
SY Backgammon….a new social group reminiscent of the clubs from the 70’s and 80’s when the game backgammon first gained popularity in the U.S. has just been launched locally. Members will be meeting at the spacious Petros Winery & Restaurant – 3360 Foxen Cyn Rd, Los Olivos – on the 1rst & 3rd Sunday of the month at 4:30pm with the inaugural kickoff on October 19th to play their favorite game. Founder Teri Harmon is inviting all backgammon players to dust off their old boards and come enjoy Petros wines and cuisine while playing backgammon and meeting new friends. For the competitive types, there will be an opportunity to play for prizes. The four dates listed below will be for tuning up our skills with 2026 bringing a year-long competition with points awarded and tallied for the “player of the year” and “Most Improved” awards given. Newbies to the game are encouraged to observe and/or play as there might be some guidance and help given from a volunteer instructor. Lots of fun to be had by all.
RSVP directly to Teri at terisue.harmon@gmail.com before Friday the 17th. She needs a head count, can put you on her invitation list for future backgammon dates and needs to know if you have a board or not. Club is for ages 21+. The dates currently set aside will be October 19th, November 2nd & 16th and December 14. The 2026 dates will be given to those who have RSVP’d to either attend or to get on the notification list. Arrive hungry and enjoy ordering your favorites at Petros as a thankyou for hosting our games.
