During the 'Pasang' workshop yesterday.

More than 20 people attended a workshop on techniques of playing the traditional board game, 'Pasang', yesterday at the Central Lecture Theatre of Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD).

The workshop was to brush up the participants' playing skills and to prepare them for the 'Pasang' tournament scheduled to begin tomorrow. It was conducted by 14 trainers from Brunei Museum headed by its Customer Services Officer Pg Hj Ismail Pg Ibrahim.

According to Pg Hj Ismail, it was the second time that the club has invited them to conduct the workshop for its members, where the first was held in February this year.

The 'Pasang' tournament, which is being organised by the Heritage Club with cooperation from Brunei Museum, will draw to a close this Sunday (August 28).

Meanwhile, the president of the Heritage Club, Dyg Masnoni Mohd Mahari, said that the club was aimed at introducing traditional games to its members, where it is hoped that they would teach their relatives and friends how to play the game. She added that this would ensure that the traditional game would not be forgotten.

She noted that the Heritage Club, which focuses on Bruneian heritage, has so far been one of the active clubs in UBD, where various field trips have been organised.

It is hoped that the workshop and tournament would help promote the club and attract even more members, particularly those who have keen interest in Bruneian heritage, she added.
