Club champs kicked off last night with 24 players putting their hats in the ring. Special mention to Peter Ladur who took Hilton to a technical draw with opposite coloured bishops only to miss out due to the clock. Remember you can still join up in week 2 and claim a retrospective bye for round one. No joining week three and beyond. As Ian is away next week and their is no capacity to request byes via email the draw will be done on the night for the next two nights, so dont turn up late. Also remember no play on Easter Tuesday
