Durham Congress

Due to the weather the Durham Congress has been postponed.

The organisers apologise for any inconvenience.

A new date is being looked at.

I was going to play.

The entry form says nothing about weather but goes on and on about not turning up for a game.

I shall be there and demand I win all my games by default and am then sent the relevant money prizes...all of it.

Edinburgh currently like a ghost town though the much maligned trams are still running.

Hi Geoff,

I turned out to meet you last night and again this morning.

You didn't show on either occasion and therefore are defaulted so fail to win first prize. We still await your entry fee which is now forfeit. I'll collect it from you at the Edinburgh Congress.
