Glorney Gilbert International Tournament.
This will be held in the Park Inn hotel, near Cardiff, from Monday, July 24th to Wednesday, July 26th.
Welsh Chess Union have registered the Glorney and Gilbert tournaments with F.I.D.E. for rating purposes.
The hotel address is: -
The Park Inn Hotel, Cardiff North,
Circle Way East, Llanedeyrn, Cardiff. CF23 9XF
Jim,
I presume that the dates you gave are the playing dates:- That is 2 rounds Monday 24th, 2 rounds Tuesday 25th and final round on the 26th.
Following the pattern of last year when France also competed in a 5 round all play all event.
That being so travel, arrival, team managers meeting and first night of accommodation would be Sunday 23rd July.
Peter,
Taking your point about opposite end of Wales to the British.
Simple summary of Welsh roads is that North to South routes are slow. East to West Routes are faster.
Route between the two venues should be based upon M4 M5 M6
Plus for the Severn Bridge the tolls are collected on the English side. Best not to mention that when West of the Bridge.
