Matches
Matches will start on time rather than follow-on. Over the years this has worked better for players and spectators both as everyone can plan better. We'll allocate an hour per match.
Graded Tournament
We will host a graded tournament alongside the main draw which will run for one day on Saturday 8th March. Any friends or family accompanying the players may wish to play.
Saturday night
We'll take the players out on Saturday night to a restaurant (unfortunately it is self funded) then anyone who wants to can go on to the bars. Everyone is welcome.
