Fantastic event. Thoroughly enjoyed playing and spectating. Well done to all the prize winners. Do we have to wait a whole year for the next one? I'll be booking my holidays from work as soon as the 2013 dates are official. A huge thank you to Alex and his team for organising and to our generous benefactor who made it possible.

What? You are not going to be involved in the Glorney/Faber, British or Classic in the meantime?
Shame on you, you slacker. ;P ;P ;P

Nope, I am taking a couple of months off to relax. I think next event is the Lothians Congress!

Andy - Relax - Think that's a potential incompatibility issue.

Well done to the winners, organisers ... and indeed everyone who took part. And perhaps especially to Jacob for winning the venerable old trophy!

I feel for Donald Holmes, leading the championship and having to withdraw, having never won it.
Congratulations to Jacob on a deserved win.
However to give Donald a better chance next year can we make it more Scottish ?
e.g. the winner must have the SCO code on their FIDE rating.
Happy to propose at AGM if someone will second.
