        Re: Guelph Spring Pro-Am, April 28-29 - problem

        Hello my friends! The Guelph Spring Pro-Am has about 60 player pre-registered and I will post this list soon.

        The University has informed me that Saturday April 28 has been cancelled across campus due to electrical repairs. Of course I am extremely disappointed as no doubt our registered players are. I am pursuing a few options and will keep you posted. If we can move the event to another venue in Guelph that is my first choice. Moving to a nearby town is my second choice. Changing the event to a single day tournament with a discounted entry fee is also possible, as is a full cancellation with full refunds. My next event is June 16-17, so some players may apply their entry to that one.

        One way or another I will know next week.

            Venue Update

            I am pleased to report that the Guelph Spring Pro-Am will remain on campus.

            Saturday action will take place in the Arboretum Centre. It is located on Arboretum Road, off College Avenue just before Victoria Road. On Sunday we return to Peter Clark Hall in the University Centre.

            Registration stands at 70 players and we have room for 100.

                  76 players so far

                  Capacity is capped at 100 players so there it is still possible to sign up. The entry fee for the Pro Section is now at $80 and the Amateurs are at $60. e-transfer to my email address halbond@sympatico.ca or paypal to chess@uoguelph.ca

                  Kindly remember that all entries must be paid in advance, and pairings will be posted Friday night, April 27, as soon as I get back from setting up - probably 10ish.
