I came to GoldToken in January of 2003. Heard about this site from a friend at IYT. Not many games at that time, but has grown to many different games since then. The people here are friendly and I have become friends with many players from all over the World. I am owner of The hoot's hide-a-way Club as well as many other clubs. I like to play games in several clubs along with the Olympic games and different Tournaments.

- You can still play a game in one club team only, but!
- You can now play the same game in multiple clubs - this means that you can play the same game in multiple club ladders, if you want to.
- The club team size needed for participating in inter-club ladders and challenges has been reduced from 5 to 3.
- Ongoing Inter-Club Challenges are now listed on your clubs home page.
- Ladder limits for Gold members have been raised to 30.

The Backgammon Club Revival Club is now playing in the inter-club backgammon ladder in one of the small teams. They are still open to new players if anyone would like to join them. They will be setting up some prize backgammon tournaments in the new year so watch this space. sallyp sends
to all that have joined so far and looks forward to more members and a fun 2017 In 2017, The Daily Laugh Club will be playing all your favourite games but with a new challenge! The idea is to see who is the Champion player of each game at the end of the year. The first set of games is already in sign-up and more will be added soon. As soon as a particular game (ie Backgammon1) is filled, the next game will immediately be posted in sign-up. So, as Backgammon1 begins, you can sign up for Backgammon2.
Records of all winners will be kept and posted bi-monthly. Please do message smiler5 or simply post on the Games DB with the names of the games you wish to see included.
New members are always welcome! I hope you will like the new format and join in with LOTS of games! STAY TUNED "CLUB CONNECTION" WILL RETURN NEXT MONTH
