PS Here's a very nice message from one of our players:
Just a brief note to thank you for all your efforts in organising the 4NCL Congress in Wakefield last weekend. The event was hugely enjoyable and run in a smooth, professional and unobtrusive manner by Lara Barnes and Matthew Carr. I thanked Lara in person but didn’t get a chance to speak to Matthew after the last round, so I’d be grateful if you could pass on my expression of gratitude to him, please.

Looks like a another good event and I'm sorry I wasn't able to make this one.
I hope numbers were okay. I know there was some concern early on but a glance at the 4NCL website suggests that numbers were higher than the Birmingham event in July.

Yes, we did fine on numbers in the end, and probably broke even. Thanks to all the entrants!
