I've had a look at the website earlier today.
There is a list of entrants and currently 35 have entered so far including a number who post regularly on the forum. Which is great to see.
I've just had another look at the website and entries have now increased to 41 with Tim Wall being the strongest entrant.

There was a total of 137 entries for the Northumberland Congress last weekend.
Two Grandmasters entered, Danny Gormally and Nigel Davies.
Well done to Mick Riding and the team for organising and running a great event in such difficult times.

Didn't you know? You can't run an event unless one of us attends.

It's lucky you are both playing Scarborough Congress then.
I can't survive another year without Scarborough.
I like the picture of young Mick Riding.

That clashes with Divisions 1 and 2 of the 4NCL. Your call, of course.
