A reminder that we are holding the usual Polytechnic Quickplay on Thursday 19 April at 7.00pm for 7.15 start. Five round Swiss, 15 min per player per game, £5 entry fee, returned as prizes after costs.
Best way to enter is by email to me <!-- e --><a href="mailto:kstewart9@blueyonder.co.uk">kstewart9@blueyonder.co.uk</a><!-- e --> (which lets me get data on computer in advance) though entry on night is possible.

  5th East Kilbride Weekly Open change of dates
Posted by: John Dykes - 01-04-2012, 04:13 AM - Forum: Announcements - Replies (2)

Due to unexpected maintenance work being carried out at the Murray Owen Centre, we have had to put the start date of our 5th E.K. Open, back a week.

The new dates of the Tournament are Thursday - 17th May, 24th May, 31st May, 7th June & 14th June 2012

We will no longer be having round one on Thursday 10th May and the Tournament shall finish on the 14th June instead of the 7th June 2012.

I have issued updated entry forms on both <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ekchess.org.uk">http://www.ekchess.org.uk</a><!-- m --> and <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.chessscotland.com">http://www.chessscotland.com</a><!-- m -->

Sorry for any inconvenience.
