Grand Master Colin McNab will demonstrate some master games on Thursday 17 November 2011 at 19:30. This special event is also open to non-members of Polytechnic at a nominal fee (£3). It would be helpful but not essential for non-members to contact our Secretary in advance at <!-- e --><a href="mailtoairena.gaffney@glasgow.ac.uk">Dairena.gaffney@glasgow.ac.uk</a><!-- e --> so that we have an idea of numbers.

That Andy is at it again!!!

The practical joker has done the fixture list and has posted it on the SNCL website. Ignore the fact that he has titled it 2010-11 fixtures. If you click on the divisions it is this seasons teams (I know that as I checked Div 4 and the new teams are there so I am assuming the other divisions have been done!!!)

To get to the website, go to CS website, main menu, click on leagues and then scroll down to SNCL, click website.

We have 32 teams this year -- Perfect!!!!

Andy thank you very much for doing the fixtures.

at todays news. Our favourite Alien lover will be crying into his biccies

I am putting itis not missed by anyone.

My sincere apologies go to Corstorphine who, not only got their entry fee in on time, were actually the first entry I received -- 27th September 2011.

As stated earlier my mind has been distracted and, although I had a feeling it had arrived, it took me some time to track down the SAFE place I had put it in (Otherwise known as fallen down the back of the microwave in the kitchen!!)

The two Ayr teams I have definitely not heard from so would appreciate some acknowledgement to either myself or Andy Howie.

Andy has the teams and I am sure is well on the way to getting the draw organised!!!

Would these teams please contact me ASAP and let me know if they are planning to put in a team for this season's SNCL
