Hi all, just a friendly reminder of the next Bob and Gord active tourney in Milton on Mar 04. One of our previous competitors like our last one so much, he has three other family members signed up for March. Wow. Great tourney for first time tournament players. The entry fee is only $50 if received by Mar 02. Lots of time to think about it. It goes up to $60 on the 3rd, and then $70 cash on the 4th (game day). By the way, there is room for 80 players so you may not want to wait too long. Once we had mid sixties in attendance.

Hi Gord, and good evening.

Registration updates on post #4. Time is ticking away. The price is only $50 until March 2nd, so plenty of time to look into getting your ducks in a row. But dont wait too long. It goes up to $60 March 03 and $70 cash on game day.

Some more joining the fray!

Remember, registered list on post #4. Capacity of 80 players. I will also have some chess dvds (unopened, brand new) as well as some used chess books (mostly of very good to mint state) for sale, pickup at the Bob and Gord tourney Mar 04 in Milton, unless you want to meet in Milton to pick it up sooner. Please see separate post on chesstalk for titles and prices.

Adding more to the registration list. Only $50 entry fee until Friday Mar 03, then it is $60. Mar 04, game day, it is $70. Great tournament for first timers to tournament play!
