Possibly Portmeirion ?Simon Rogers wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 1:53 pmRelaxing the 2 metre rule would be very risky. Unless everyone was forced to wear gloves, masks and visors.
The other places in the UK that might return to normal are some of the other extremities like Lundy,Sark, Orkney and Shetland.
Possibly down the line the Isle of Wight like in The Day of the Triffids.

"Possibly Portmeirion ?"
That would be a great venue for a chess event, although equating Portmeirion with normality is a bit of a stretch.

Would participants in this Portmeirion chess congress dream of being chased through the streets by large bouncing balls looking like the Covid19 virus?

If I were running it, I'm sure I could get Rover to make an appearance!
The pairing numbers would start with 2, obviously.

Good point, but I imagine you could charge entrants an extra fee to be number 6...
I think we may have drifted a bit from the point of the thread, but I've seen worse examples.

Re: ECF Finance Meeting
Book the Hotel 6 Years in advance. Small tournament.
My number 6 t shirt worn at chess over 100 times. I expect that is an ECF record.
As number 2 came up I was thinking Austin Powers. Nice to drift...

Re: ECF Finance Meeting
Thanks for all those posts gentlemen. It's made me chuckle.
I've never visited Portmeirion. If I win the lottery, I'll will take you all there for a few chess games and Welsh Beer.

We all need to all remember that the ECF are there to support us and we don't want to be like the Bridge union and also like the BDO darts

Re: ECF Finance Meeting
Has Sark declared UDI from the Bailiwick of Guernsey?
Re: ECF Finance Meeting
Perhaps it should, temporarily, because there's safety in fewer numbers now.

No - but they did isolate themselves from Guernsey quickly. The Barclay brothers have been trying to take over Sark, but the Guernsey Courts won't let them.
