Meadows Open 2012
23-24 June 2012, Meadows
The Meadows Open was originally planned as a Strict Swiss, but this was quickly changed to a Flexible Swiss when Bryan Sykes rang on the Saturday morning to say that his overnight train from London had been delayed at Carlisle due to floods. He eventually arrived at lunchtime having been diverted via Newcastle. (Bryan himself is an Occasional Swiss, as readers of the SCA Select v Switzerland Select report will know).
Conditions were generally easy with only three games going to time (2.5 hour time limits), 6 TPs completed and many more attempted. The highlight of the weekend was a large tree falling in the Meadows, just the other side of Melville Drive. It made a very loud sound, many people were around and most heard it. Luckily nobody was underneath it.
Congratulations to Alan Wilson who was a deserving winner having won all of his games and gaining a handicap reduction to 2½. Full results below.
Campbell Morrison, Manager
