Good morning Lawrence

GM Mark Hebden also competing at Cappelle and doing his usual fantastic job coaching Sam, Sarah & Lateefah. Gill & I are also at Cappelle, is it helpful/useful for me to post the English results with additional comments etc to this thread?

Cheers

Hi Peter,

I knew Mark was going as a coach but couldn't find his name on the list but I did think he would be playing. I'll start a seperate thread for Cappelle, it's a big tournament and hopefully there'll be plenty worth reporting on. Hope it all goes well and thanks for doing so much to help support our juniors.
