Website Update 23 October
Only 1 tie to be played in Round 2 of Len Weir trophy and the round 3 draw can be seen on the competition page. The club is really busy these day, which is great to see. The next few weeks will be hectic with JBW round 1 on 5 November and 3 League matches on 12 November. I am delighted with progress in club competitions this season. If your result is not shown on the website or on Chess Scotand grading system please email boblreid@hotmail.co.uk. Team captains will be in touch if you are selected for one of the teams on 12 November, otherwise you are free to come and play club match on that date. It is clear from the long list of players eligible for the C team that we could easily field at least one more team. So we are looking for potential captains for next season when we hope to field 4 or 5 teams – volunteers welcome!! We encourage all members who qualify to take part in the JBW Robertson trophy. There is still plenty time to enter using this link https://www.ayrshirechess.co.uk/john%20robertson%20cup.html. Last date for entries is Friday 30 October.
