Really excited to announce that the entry forms are now available for our new event.

I will upload one to ECF site shortly but you can also request one by emailing me at [email protected]

They will also be available at this weekend's Frodsham event and others throughout the year.

It is stated on our entry form that mobile phones will not be allowed into the venue. We put this on after reading Alex McFarlane's article in a recent BCM regarding the new rules which come into effect just before our event.

I would like to reassure all possible entrants that we will not be conducting body searches or pat downs (unless you ask nicely, in which case I'm sure Mr Arkell will oblige) and if phones are switched off and hidden, they we will simply assume that you do not have one.

And now you can say, GM Keith Arkell, European Senior Champion, will be giving a simultaneous display :D

Another reminder before the late-fee comes into play.
