The Commonwealth

I'd like to add my thanks to all the arbiters, organizers and helpers for their enormous hard work, and the success of the event too, of course.

With scores of Scottish players around, some help would surely have been forthcoming if particular requests had been made, eg for the cleanup. Stable door and all that, but don't be too shy to ask!

Would that be the scores of Scottish Players that were there for the prizegiving. Very few of the Scottish prizewinners were there Sad

Should make it a rule that - unless under exceptional circumstances - prizes will not be given out to players if they are not at the prize ceremony to receive them?

Or you can deduct a certain % from prize winners who do not attend.

Why? The Welsh contingent had the last train back to Wales to catch.

Thank you to everyone who made this event happen. I spoke to some of the other players and there was a real sense of being involved with something a bit special.
