CRAIGMILLAR DOUBLE SIXIES
On a Wednesday we go to the Jack
Kane Centre to play dominos and there is a trophy that we play for. The people that are in the team are Davie,
Stuart, Danny, Rebecca, Larry and sometimes other people come and join us later
on if they want to.The team are all
very competitive also they help each other out if they get stuck. I have a few friends with impaired vision and
I help them by calling out the numbers when it’s their turn, so that they know
what they require. For some of you that don’t understand the rules of dominoes let me try
and explain them to you. What the rules are we normally get seven dominoes each
and then we start with the double nine, if nobody has it we then go down to the
double eight, if nobody has that what we do then is we keep going down until
someone is able to start the game. What we also do as we are playing is one of
the staff members who are with us they usually keep the scores for us.The way they are made is they
have bumps on them so that it’s easy for people impaired vision to feel
them.The other thing is that once we
tell the person when it’s their turn on what they require, if he or she hasn’t
got it then they say if they are chapping or not. The other thing that happens is we usually
play up to three games and whoever wins the three games the person wins the
trophy and they get to keep it for a week. Sometimes when people win the trophy they forget to bring it back the
following week. In
2020 we are hoping to make up a certificate until they bring it back. We are
also looking at competing against other services within Capability Scotland. I hope you found this interesting. Look out in our blog for up to date
information on our team the double sixes.
