BCM `Snub` Northern event.....?

[Mick Norris]

I thought Chris Rice's Weekend Chess was excellent, the only chess magazine I ever bought, instrumental in keeping us a sponsor for the Bury (Manchester) Rapidplay (pre-credit crunch)

No, I dont wish to see all chess events moved to Manchester...but there are other deserving northern locations, such as Sheffield, York, Chesterfield, Chester/Warrington, Nottingham, Preston...Durham, to name but a few....and the British Champs being held at Sheffield this year, I`m sure will prove a great success..lets hope its not too far north for those BCM reporters.

Do BCM have more than one "reporter"? (as opposed to contributors from events in which they are participating). He can't be at two places for the same weekend!
