Thanet Congress 2025

Post by Roger de Coverly » Wed May 14, 2025 11:28 am

Is this likely to run this year?

The normal time slot is mid-August.

The website only contains last year's details.

I made them the website several years ago, but they have never used it - except to post last year’s dates. They didn’t even post the results of last year’s event, which upset some people.

It seems something is afoot, weekend 15th-17th August, and they may even have new sponsorship, but it’s only on Chess Results, not yet on any calendars: https://chess-results.com/tnr1179057.aspx?lan=1

Aha! There now appears to be online entry at Congress Org. Looks like the event is still organised by Alan Atkinson. https://congress.org.uk/congress/612/home
