BACKGAMMON ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA We have been some 50 plus members strong with ages varying from 25 to 75. We look forward to your company.

Dear Backgammon Player,
The Backgammon Association of South Australia (BASA) was formed and incorporated in February 1977. And we meet every Tuesday night from about 6:00pm. As a non profit association, we organise the Annual South Australian Open Championship early in the year, the Angie Hambour Memorial Tournament mid year and the Spring Tournament later in the year. We are part of the Australian and International Backgammon scene. You do not need to be an expert to play with us. We have members of all skill levels and we undertake to coach those who wish to learn from scratch or those who wish to improve. We are passionate about playing backgammon, and of course, winning! We organise tournaments and publish an electronic newsletter which is sent to financial members via e-mail, use Telegram to all communicate with members and operate a page and play a round robin league to determine a club champion but we do not arrange barbeques or bus trips per se. We are a sociable group but not a social club as such. Our aim is the promotion of Backgammon, an ancient and exciting game with a unique blend of skill and luck. Membership runs from January each year, costs $10 per year, and a $2 administrative charge is made on meeting nights. We currently meet at The Metropolitan Hotel on Grote Street Adelaide. Our postal address is PO BOX 450 MITCHAM SHOPPING CENTRE SA 5062 and Association President Nick Begakis AO, can be contacted at [email protected] or on 0403 253 263.
