Genuinely interested...... in where the source image for this came from.
Are you prepared to reveal?
Fine first image BTW.

Not hinting anything.It's just that I was once a member of a University drinking tiddlywinks society. The version of the game currently sanctioned by the International Federation of Tiddlywinks Associations (yes this organisation does exist) is rather different to that pictured but clearly this is an organised event and I wondered who had arranged it. In these days of students taking the world rather seriously, the dwindling number of remaining clubs are always looking to make new contacts.

Blimeysome tiddlywinks terminology-
Blitz: an attempt to pot all six winks of a player's colour early in the game
Bomb: to send a wink at a pile, usually from distance, in the hope of significantly disturbing it
Boondock: to free a squopped wink by sending it a long way away, leaving the squopping wink free in the battle area
Bristol: a shot which moves a pile of two or more winks as a single unit; the shot is played by holding the squidger at a right angle to its normal plane
Carnovsky (US)/Penhaligon (UK): potting a wink from the baseline (i.e., from 3 feet away)
Cracker: a simultaneous knock-off and squop, i.e. a shot which knocks one wink off the top of another while simultaneously squopping it
Crud: a forceful shot whose purpose is to destroy a pile completely
Good shot: named after John Good. The shot consists of playing a flat wink (one not involved in a pile) through a nearby pile with the intent of destroying the pile
Gromp: an attempt to jump a pile onto another wink (usually with the squidger held in a conventional rather than Bristol fashion)
John Lennon memorial shot: a simultaneous boondock and squop
Lunch: to pot a squopped wink (usually belonging to an opponent)
Scrunge (UK): to bounce out of the pot
Squop: to play a wink so that it comes to rest above another wink
Sub: to play a wink so that it ends up (unintentionally) under another wink

Again from the net?There you have the difference, you see - in the picture you have there is no scope for the "squop" shot which forms the basis of all tactical play. Interesting huh?
