I am planning a norm event in February half term 2019, somewhere between 10th and 20th of February. I have a kind sponsor who has given me some help to get this off the ground. The primary aim is to invite all the UK players looking for norms, plus some titled players from abroad.
I now need a venue, preferably free, with space for 20 players. It should be quiet and somewhere (ideally) that you can lock up and leave equipment (board, sets, live boards) in situ for 7-9 days.
It does not have to be in London, but London would be ideal.
If you are interested in playing in such an event, or you have a venue in mind, or you would like to co-sponsor such a tournament - please let me know at [email protected]!

Wouldn't these dates clash with the Northumbria Masters, also a norm event?
