The new club venue at Hamilton Boys High School looks great. Much more spacious and light than our previous digs. Thanks once again to Graham for organizing this for us. We had 16 players for opening night. A six round swiss tournament at 5 + 3 was won by William with 5 points, followed by Richard Dare on 4.5. Club ratings have been updated.
