I’m not holding my breathe on this one when Bill looks at the situation in early January. It might not be a pretty picture!
The original email did have a rather pessimistic tone.
& there was talk at Scarborough of problems securing the venue for Blackpool.
45th Conference
Hopefully I am wrong, but this is starting to look like a Non Runner.
Not so fast, Paul.
This has just been announced on the website:
"The next tournament has been confirmed to take place 11th to 13th March."

I've started a new Topic for it in Congress Diary.

No, despite the strange wording on the entry form.
The event is only ECF rated.

I thought the usual convention was to list the prize breakdown within days ?
More than a month has passed and still no published list of prize winners, who cares ?
It seems seniors prizes are to be shared ? I might be interested in seeing the breakdown for my section , but how ?
