Hi
everyone
As we
approach the end of our main season, it is time to start considering the
2023 Summer League. To this end, I have attached an entry form / club information sheet
which should be returned to myself (with copies to Alan McIntosh and Steve
Mann) no later than Saturday, 15th April 2023. Fixtures are due to be
played between May and September. The summer league rules can be
found at mannchess.org.uk/SRules/Rules.htm#summer
My own
club, Darnall & Handsworth, would be interested in playing some rated
rapidplay matches alongside the summer league (number of boards to be
mutually agreed). We would like to invite a club to come to our venue
to play two matches against us in an evening (the second with colours
reversed) or, if there's a lot of interest, then we could invite three
clubs to come to play a three round team all-play-all. Let me know if
your club would like to be involved. You never know, this could be
the start of a rapidplay league.
One
other snippet of information. Some of you will already be aware that
there's a team looking to re-start the Sheffield weekend congress.
The new provisional date for that is 7th and 8th October with three rounds
on the Saturday, and two on Sunday. Get the date in your diaries.
Best
wishes
Geoff
