Hi Folks,

I am sure you are all champing at the bit to get the entry forms for SNCL.

Sorry I have not done them yet!!

I've had a dreadful couple of months with Mam being very unwell and culminating in me having to find and put her into a nursing home. Definitely the worst time of our lives.

Although still unwell she is becoming more settled and life is returning to normal so I hope to have the forms ready this weekend and get them sent to the relevant council members to send them out to clubs and put on the calendar noticeboard.

However, if you are worried you get missed out please email me at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:ggrant1@outlook.com">ggrant1@outlook.com</a><!-- e --> with details of your team and I will happily make up a list for Andy Howie. Fees remain at £100 per team
As the majority of teams now pay me on the day I would suggest that everyone does this and save yourselves the postage.

Anyone who needed extra trophies from last year please email me with the details as I have forgotten!!

Sorry I'm not more organised -- things will improve.

GG

Hi,

A game I recently discovered which may give fuel to the argument about 'Luck in Chess.'

Plus some very strange games and my Short-Kasparov 1993 poster.

Came across this in one of my many meanderings on Reddit.

Gareth Ellis has asked me to publicise the following. Gareth has a connection with the people who did the bookstall at the Scottish.

Please make the Scottish clubs/schools with websites aware of a possible 10 free sets for adding a link to their site.

I don't know what to say. Anyone know who the SFA delegate is so I can contact them to warn them!
