The AGM took place as arranged on Monday night. All went well although we failed to elect a President and the post remains vacant. The meeting agreed the winter season would commence on Tuesday 21st September 2021, hopefully bringing to an end this enforced nightmare.

Please note we strongly recommend all covid safety measures remain in place.

The History of Cribbage

In the early 1600s, Sir John Suckling an English courtier, poet, gamester and gambler invented cribbage, which he derived from the earlier game of Noddy.

Originally, a five-card game was played where each player discarded only one card to the crib. Nowadays the six-card game is more popular with each player discarding two cards to the crib.

Cribbage is very popular in the United States of America and Canada with many cribbage leagues and clubs in existence; in England, it is the only game that can legally be played in a public house for money.
