There have been few laughs at PartyGaming since it retrenched last year after US hostility against online gambling, but John Davy's appointment to the board raises a smile. He is the founder of Jongleurs comedy clubs and the nominated representative of Ruth Parasol and Russell DeLeon , the PartyGaming founders and 28.4 per cent shareholders. Anurag Dikshit - the tech brains of the outfit and a 27 per cent shareholder - has nominated Emilio Gomez , a former senior partner of Baker Tilly in Gibraltar, where Party is licensed. Also joining the board are Lord Moonie , former junior defence minister, and Stephen Box , former finance director of National Grid and independent director at Michael Page.
