The congress was more successful in attracting entries than in recent years. I think the number of entries was something like 21 in the Open, 27 in the Major and a similar number in the Minor. There are plans for a six round event at the same time next year. Thanks to Graham Mill-Wilson for organising the congress, to Geoff Gammon as assistant arbiter and to Pete Saunders for signing the cheques!

=1st was Thomas Thorpe (go me!), Brendon O'Gorman, Richard George, Roger Pearce and Andrew Borkowski.

Was a fantastic tournament, and am looking forward to the Bristol Winter Congress in December!
