May I be the first to congratulate Lara and Alex and the rest of their team on yet another excellent event. Am I right in thinking it was a record turnout? There were 170 boards at one stage making 340 participants and I'm not sure where any more could have been fitted in - there was no space for the spectators who used to sit along the side.

For those who couldn't make the trip this year the Spa Complex has had a refurbishment with the toilets modernised and the lighting vastly improved.

For clarification the improved lighting also applied to the playing hall

Entry was 331 - down 25 on last year's record.
