We have had visitors on holiday from Belarous and Malta.

We have up and coming youngsters improving their Chess by playing the long time controls and Club players.

A reminder that after this week we will have only 3 weeks left and our special rules come into effect: If a player does not play in two of the last three rounds they will be assumed to have played and lost 2 games. If they play only one then they will forfeit one game. However if a player has played 14 or more games then they are exempt from this rule.
