Emergency Contact Numbers: During the tournament if you need to contact us in an emergency, Alan Kennedy’s mobile will be left on: 07834 356919. Please make sure that you put your 27th September contact telephone number on the entry form.

 

Queries: If you have any questions please give Mike Truran a call on 01993 708645. Email queries can be sent to .

 

Child supervision: Due to the limited number of personnel, the responsibility of supervising children remains that of their parents or other responsible adults. If this is your child’s first chess tournament, we recommend you remain on site until your child is settled and preferably for the whole day, as chess tournaments can be quite tiring for children not used to them. The tournament is organised by those with experience of dealing with children and running chess tournaments.

 

Sections (Junior event): If entries permit, we will separate entries into:

 

(a) a Minor section for under 50 ECF grade/ungraded players;

(b) a Major section which is open to all players, whether graded or ungraded. If your child is eligible for both sections, please indicate on the entry form which section you would like him/her to play in.
