Note that we kick off with the East Devon Congress in Exeter on w/e 6th 7th March...they are keen to hear from players in the South West/Southern counties...and others who fancy a w/e`s chess at this excellent venue....please pass on to fellow chess contacts who might be interested.

Meanwhile...in my neck of the woods there are several events of interest...scroll for details.
I`ll briefly mention Blackpool (w/e 11th March), one of our show piece events, along with Huddersfield (w/e 26th March) & at least two Rapidplays....Manchester on 6th March at the Man City Stadium, and Atherton on 20th.....plenty to whet the appetite. Not least is the 4NCL Northern w/e on 26th/27th March at Crewe - De Vere`s. They`re looking for more northern teams for next season...large clubs & league`s/chess groups might care to check out the 4NCL website http://www.4ncl.co.uk/ for more details.
