Can I ask: who are the organisers and arbiters?

Aiming to hit the 50 mark soon on the first Cheam RapidPlay this Saturday (49 entries now with 2 more days to go!). The Open section could benefit from 5 more players to run as an "independent" section as the other two sections have hit the minimum threshold. Calling any last mile players for the Open section, thanks
