No doubt you are aware that on the first Monday of each month there is an Under-18 county based Lichess Team Arena Battle the details of which are created by the ECF DoJCaE.

Thx John - I am now
I'll follow up with Alex H how best to align these
What is ECF DoJCaE ?
many thanks, Keith

Thx Jack - it's a small world

The main issue for Hampshire for the last few months has been the notice period for learning of the details.

The DoJCaE used to send these out the Wednesday prior to the Monday of the event which was a decent notice period.

This has degraded to the day of the event or the evening before which is insufficient to be useful.
