The first of these will be from 7-00pm on Tuesday 3rd Feb at the Rising Sun, 38 Cloth Fair, EC1A 7JQ Nearest tubes St Pauls, Barbican and Farringdon. They serve good beer and food is available until 9pm. The idea is that it will be just a regular place to meet and play Skat, completely informal, just turn up and play, with whatever variations each table agrees on. Don't worry if you can't be there for 7 o'clock, arrive when you can. It would help if you could let me know if you intend to be there. We'll be playing in the main part of the pub, and they'll reserve a space for us depending on how many we expect, in case the pub's still busy when we arrive. Email me at _Miketob at aol.com_ (mailto:Miketob at aol.com) or phone/text 07940 591263. If you know anyone who would like to learn the game, or refresh their memory of it, bring them along, this will be an ideal opportunity to teach them the game. Hope to see as many of you there as possible Best Regards, Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
