Chipping Sodbury Rapidplay 30/10/10

[Graham Mill-Wilson]

This twice-yearly event has moved back to its original home in Chipping Sodbury town hall, and all agreed it's a very pleasant venue. A total of 30 players took part. The Open and Major sections were merged, giving a section of 11 players. The Minor section (under 130) had 19, of whom 9 were juniors.
Apart from winning the Open, Arturo Wong brought along his entire family. His wife and two young sons all played in the Minor section (but dad collared all the loot).

Thanks to Kevin Markey of Gloucestershire for controlling. Next one will be April or May 2011.
