Thanks Lee, in times like these all of us could use a good laugh.

I do have one question though. Will respirators be provided, or should we all bring our own?

[Lee Hendon]

Hello Brad Thomson

Please be advised that the date is tentative and may be subject to change,
unfortunately, these are serious times and we don't need a reminder of the severity of the situation.

To all please stay safe and we will see everyone sooner than later!

Thank-you Lee Hendon

host it online ..

[Rob Gashgarian]

We have decided to take Henri's advice and will hold these events online at Chess.com.
The flyer is here http://brantchess.ca/2020AB.pdf
Only prepaid entries will be accepted. On May 9, registration/prepayment is allowed up to 8:30am for the active alone or for both and for just the blitz, the cutoff to register/prepay is 2:30 pm
We will update in the next week or so with a pre-registered list.
Stay well everyone.
