This was held at Corbridge on December 13th. 6 members took part in a 5-round all-play-all event. Games lasted 30 minutes, with the time split unevenly between the two players where the difference in their ECF grading warranted it. This form of handicap led to a spate of unexpected results, and when the final round was over the scores were as follows:
Dave Humphreys, Steve Larkin, Bruce Reed and Tim Wrigley all on 3/5
Dave Foster 2/5
Peter Crichton 1/5
It was an enjoyable evening, helped along by a good supply of Christmas fare.
