SNCL is on this sunday

1) Clocks go forward an hour - don't be late. We start the games at 10.00 prompt

2) Bring the trophies please

3) Do not leave any property behind. I am not keeping things until next season.

4) In the afternoon is the Team Lightning Comp. Please stay and play. It is usually finished by 6pm at latest.

5) AGM is hopefully at 3pm. All Captains must attend please, there may be important votes. Any Agenda items give them to me or Andy before 12.00 on Sunday

Anything I've forgotten to say I'm sure Andy will add in.

Next year's dates will have to change due to congress commitments so definitely will need discussion on this at AGM

Just when you think nothing can surprise you, Scotland playing West Indies for a place in the Cricket World Cup - looking pretty good after 10 overs.

Hi,

Any news on date and venue for Richardson, Spens, Rose bowl finals?

Calendar has "Date is provisional.  Details to follow for location".

Thanks,
Crawford.

Anyone want to discuss some chess on here?

Kramnik's win against Aronian today must be one of the most brilliant games of chess I have ever seen! Creative, aggressive and some very beautiful sacrificial play to wrap it all up. Looks to me like he wants his title back!

We are pleased to say that the Dundee & Angus Congress will be back this year. The dates are 19-21st October. This is closer to the probable date for the SNCL but earlier dates were not available to us so it's this or nothing.

The venue will be different - David Lloyd's priced us out - but the new venue is close to the City Centre, easy to get to by public transport. There are plenty of car parks nearby but unfortunately none of them free.

Further details in due course. Check our facebook page ( Dundee Congress FB ) and our website ( Dundee Congress web )
