e2e4 Chester Congress : 18-20 January 2013

[Sean Hewitt]

Weather on BBC TV NW News this lunchtime "Chester - snowing heavily"

Oh no it wasn't!

Taking my pantomime hat off, most journeys have gone smoothly. The worst hit seem to have been train travellers from the south but the vast majority have made it no problem. 3 people missed the repairing deadline but will make it so will get 1/2 point byes. A certain K Arkell being one of them.
