I am thinking about playing in the Split Open 8th - 15th Aug. I see last year David Fowler and Nigel Chapman played. I would quite like to find out what it is like (the hotel scores very badly on trip advisor). Can someone help me make contact with either David or Nigel?

Not very good I agree, but a feedback population of 11 is probably not to be trusted (not least because people are more motivated to post if they are unhappy rather than happy).
Your instinct to contact chess players who have actually stayed there is spot on.
PS For a truly terrible hotel (with a statistically valid feedback population) try this one: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186402-d277039-Reviews-Paragon_Hotel-Birmingham_West_Midlands_England.html">http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Revi ... gland.html</a><!-- m -->. To my shame (as I organised the venue), the 4NCL used to play there. :ymblushing: :ymblushing: :ymblushing: Matt, I expect you have similar memories to mine.
