Thanks for this well-organized weekend. Let's hope for more teams next time ( 3/4 March). If you don't come, you are really missing out.

[Mike Truran]

The third and final Junior 4NCL weekend of this season takes place on 3 and 4 March at Barcelo Hinckley Island. We welcome entries from teams who have not entered so far, but would like to try out the Junior 4NCL's offering of competitive chess and professional coaching for a single weekend. The entry fee for this weekend is significantly discounted compared with the full season fee. The entry form can be found on the ECF website tournament calendar www.englishchess.org.uk/?page_id=4651. If you do decide to enter, please book your bedrooms early as our bedroom allocation gets released soon!

Sorry to be so dumb, but why is there a division 2 and 3 but no division 1?

[Mike Truran]

Because there was insufficient support for Division 1, which was intended to be a FIDE rated junior league. We may have another go next season if the demand is there.

There is a brief note on the entry form explaining it.

[Matthew Turner]

No demand for a league where everyone had to be an ECF member. I'm sure you'll have better luck next year.
