Re: ACF Play Site
I am a neutral party to all this. I don't know anyone here personally. But we should put aside personal dislikes and what ever personal issues we have with one another. Personal issues and dislikes can be discussed in private between the two conflicting parties. There is no need to try to "win&...

Re: Cub Scouts / Checkers
Hi John
He got in touch with me thru facebook but I think he is very busy so haven't met up yet. When you come through Singapore, contact me for a game of checkers. Very few people here play the game.
Thanks
Jason

Draughts Review

I remember in 2007, the whole set from 1924-1934 went for 150 usd excluding shipping. Ebay is still the pl...

Re: SUGGESTIONS WELCOME
Hi Danny This is one idea I do support. When I first told people that I am going to teach Kindergarten children Checkers, they laughed at me but its growing.
