Hi all,

We have a few registrations so far. I guess they dont want to take the chance and miss out to play at the next Bob and Gord on Jun 08 at the Milton Recreation Centre.. there are 80 spots minus those who have already registered. Remember, May 27th, register only for $35 on that day only. If your cfc membership is not in good standing, your registration wont be accepted on May 27th.

REGISTRATION CLOSES JUN 07TH.

Gord's crazy Monday is fast approaching. just 9 days away.
Be sure to sign up on May 27 for the discount.

Hi all,

Hope everyone had a great long weekend. Dont forget about our tourney, Bob and Gord's Spring active in Milton, on Jun 08. the entry fee is currently $40. But for one day, May 27 , the entry fee is only $35. Your cfc membership must be in good standing( that is ;your cfc membership is valid for Jun 08). Players with cfc memberships not renewed or expiring before Jun 08 2024 will be not be allowed to register on May 27. I said the tournament capacity is 80 players. There are a few spots less than 80 spots now. Some people just dont want to miss the chance to play in our tourney I guess. If you miss crazy Monday (May 27th), dont worry, the entry is still only $40 if received by Jun 03. It goes up to $50 until Jun 07 which is the last day for registration. Your move. nice to see some guys from Collingwood coming to play in our tourney.

Then its $50 until Jun 07, which is the last day of registration . have a good day all.

Hi all, got some entries coming in today! It's crazy Monday. Register by 11:59 pm tonight and your entry fee is only $35. Your cfc membership must be in good standing at time of registration for this offer to be valid. I noticed that there is a participant in the 2400+ cfc rating level already signed up. Seeing some former participants signing up, good conversations and laughter. Time is ticking. Great tourney for first timers to tournament chess.
