Summer League 2023

 

General Secretary Geoff Brown is looking to set the ball rolling with regard to the Summer League for 2023, and has sent out the follow in an e-mail to likely recipient reading as follows:

 

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 Brown

Gen Sec, S&DCA
