We look forward to seeing all our friends again at Easter for this popular festival. Let’s see if we can beat last year’s modern record entry!
All facilities that regular competitors, friends and families are used to will be available, together with yElena’s acclaimed catering.
There will also be a Masters event broadcast live, embracing not one but two tournaments, each 10 player all-play-all, i) GMs; ii) IMs. These events are being organised by Lance Leslie-Smith.
