This is a 6 x 7-board match event played in two sessions in Swiss format. Each team of four must comprise at least one gentleman and at least one lady. The event is designed for amateur club players, not international experts or those who play at the very highest levels.
The entrance fee is £140 per team, and this includes a sandwich lunch followed by dessert along with tea and coffee throughout the day.
Roehampton Club has been invited to submit a team, (possibly two teams), for this event so if you are interested, please e-mail me at juliehbacon@outlook.com for further information.
