Now that's a surprise :)

Hope it goes well! I have a thing about (not) playing chess in late Spring, so don't know.

Damian McCarthy asked if I could post it. He texted me the information yesterday. I think he is one of the organisers.
I have a lot more surprises for you, Martin. I've found plenty of tournaments to post on the forum as a result of my visits to various websites around the country.

Probably not all that many in Warrington though, which was the surprise :)

More tournaments as we get back from Covid a very firmly good thing.
