Northumberland Chess Congress?

Post by Reg Clucas » Sun Apr 16, 2023 2:48 pm

Not the Northumbria Masters, but the congress that usually takes place in September at North Shields. Does anyone know if it is happening this year? I can't see it on the ECF Calendar.

Hi Reg.
I've had a phonecall today with Mick Riding, the organiser of the Northumberland Congress and I should hopefully have some good news to report in the next few days.
Mick says he has been busy with the organisation of the Durham Congress.
All the best.
Simon.

Hi Reg.
I have received a couple of texts from the organiser of the Northumberland Congress, Mick Riding.
I am pleased to report that the Northumberland Congress is taking place this year from Friday 29th September to Sunday 1st October at the same venue as last year.
