<P class=바탕글 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1.6pt">It all kicked off yesterday, 2nd April 2010, as teams from across the globe gathered at the Greyhound Inn, Tinsley Green near Crawley, Sussex, for the British and World Marble Championships. Organised by the British Marbles Board of Control, the tournament has taken place in its current form since 1932, but it is thought to date back over 200 years.</P>
<P class=바탕글 style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1.6pt">Played on a raised 6 foot diameter concrete ring covered in a thin layer of sharp sand, and conventiently located in the car park of the Greyhound, the aim of the game is to use a “tolley” (large glass ball 3/4″ in diameter) to knock “marbles” (smaller glass ball 1/2″ in diameter) out of the ring, with points scored for each one knocked out. There are some other rules as well which are highly intriguing and include the terms “cabbaging”, “nose drop” and “fudging”, and can be read about on the <SPAN style="COLOR: #0000ff"><FONT color=#000000>British Marbles website</FONT></SPAN>.(<A href="http://britishmarbles.org.uk/">http://britishmarbles.org.uk/</A>)</P>
