The 1st East Dunbartonshire Congress took place in Lennoxtown Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th August 2011. 

The event had a relaxed atmosphere while simultaneously providing players with a platform for competitive chess. The Kings section had the added bonus of giving players the opportunity to play FIDE-rated games.
