Gethsemane Baptist Church & Fellowship Building on right 07D4.jpg (106674 bytes)Dear Checker Players,

This year the tournament dates for the District 4 are the same as always. It is the first weekend in November (Nov. 6 & 7). We will be played on Friday and Saturday at Gethsemane Baptist Church Fellowship hall in Lexington, NC. There will be 8 rounds of 2 games each (1 opening) using the 156 deck openings. Scoring will be by games, 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. As in the past, first prize will be $500.

Entry fee will be $25.00 and registration will be 9:00-10:00 AM on the 6th. Play will begin at 10:00 AM sharp. There will be 4 matches played on Friday and 4 on Saturday with a two hour time limit per match.

I want to urge you to come. On Friday morning there will be a short business meeting before the tournament begins. On Friday night at 6:00 PM there will be a dinner served for the checker players in the church fellowship hall. This promises to be a quality tournament and I hope you plan to be with us.

This year, I have made arrangements for accommodations with Budget Inn in Lexington (200 Murphy Dr, Lexington, NC 27292). It is a small, older motel, but their rooms are clean and the rates are low. The number to call for a reservation is 336-248-5172 or  336-248-5171. If there is no answer you may call Jack at 336-287-3694.  Checker player's rate is $50.00 including tax per night for queen beds.

Directions to the Fellowship Hall: From Budget Inn take business 85 north about 2 miles and turn left on Greensboro St. (beside what used to be Triad Inn. It is torn down now). Go about .8 mile and then turn left on Hill Everhart Rd. Continue .4 mile to Gethsemane Baptist Church on right, 622 Hill Everhart Rd, Lexington, North Carolina, 27295.

I cannot stress enough how much we want you to come to this tournament. Let's make this a great tournament and a fun time for all. If you have any questions, or need assistance in anyway, please call me or you can e-mail me.  336-248-8620 or ltmichael@lexcominc.net 

See you on the 6th,  Larry Michael   |   Postcard Invitation    |  Alternative Hotels

Mr. Robert W. “Bob” Parks a Master Player who was originally from Maryland and a Maryland State Champion visited our District 4 Tournament Friday, November 6th, 2015. He moved to Old Fort, NC about seventeen years ago.  Bob has played in several of our past NC tournaments, placing respectably amongst the top masters. He gave NCCA his Checker Library which we truly appreciate and will put this nice collection of checker books to good use.
