Entry form says to use public transport where possible. Gerry Blake has been working his magic and I have been told that we should be able to get passes for the multi storeys. Will have full details tomorrow. One is £4 per day the other £5. Will post here

In terms of car parking, if guests pick up car parking tickets when parking and bring them into the University, validate in the Saltire Centre ground floor any time during the day, they will receive the reduced rate when leaving the car parks.
Map of the Campus can be found here.

I would just like to thank Murad Abdulla, Nihad Abdulla, Kai Pannwitz, Andrew McCusker, Declan Shafi, Liam Richmond and Leonardo Sani for the great coaching they have been giving Andrew Green. I told them all that if they persevered he would get better. He did no too bad this weekend and his coaches did pretty good too,
Robin.

The arbiters Donald, Alex and Lara who did an excellent job as usual
Dick for putting the entrants on the Chess Scotland Website
Peter and Anne Woods for bringing the bookstall
The "Wags" group for cheering me up when I was out on my feet yesterday
The players for making it a fun tournament

It was Jonny Edwards, not me that helped set-up on Friday night.

I big thank you to Andy,Alex,Lara,Donald and Gerry and everyone who made the Glasgow Congress happen .The people involved do a lot of work which is largely unrecognised and unrewarded. The weekend was a success and everyone myself included seemed to have a good time.
