THE WORLDS BIGGEST BACKGAMMON BOARD

Airport, please fasten your safety belts and ensure that your tables are folded in front of you ready for landing. Oh and the left hand-side of the aircraft, you will see The world's biggest backgammon board, to celebrate the announcement of the first million dollar tournament in backgammon taking place in January of next year

Last month this could have been the sort of announcement that you could have heard as you arrived into Gatwick Airport, for the backgammon board in question covers over a hundred thousand square feet and is up for review by the Guinness Book of Records. A tem of six took up to four days to complete and it using over 4,ooo litres of paint to create the image. This backdrop to he World's first Million Dollar Tournament, illustrates just how much backgammon is impacting on the conscience of the public who may not already be players. With one thing for certain when you see this image it certainly makes you think about backgammon.

I wonder how many people when they got home that night after seeing the board, got out their backgammon sets or went online to play - and they say subliminal advertising doesn't work!!!!
