The third in the Alan Burns tournaments 2019
The Alan Burns series of tournaments continued in the bowling club of the NICS pavilion. We had 12 players with a nice spread of ratings and a tough competition. The time setup meant that no game was overly rushed and hence the name - The Lacksidacials.
Overlooking the bowling green a very atmospheric view - contemplative.
