Now in its third year, the tournament is named after the late Brian Lever, a backgammon player and solicitor who practised in the Cheshire area.

It will raise money for four local charities: Counselling and Family Centre in Altrincham; a community food bank in Sharston; Asthma and Lung UK; and The Horsfall.

 Alongside the tournament there will be a silent auction and a tombola.

The star listing from the auction is a photo montage entitled 'Backgammon by the Bollin' by local photographic artist, Neil Roland.
