For a time it was one of the few events which awarded 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw...I shall miss those spring days walking in the rain to and from the Lomond Centre and gaining inspiration from the statues of the hippos!
Agreed on all points. Tragic to see it go. Truly the end of an era.
...I assume George and partner are joining a fellow former Glenrothes resident and are off to Slovakia where you can play IMs every weekend and where it takes just 6 weeks to make FM
I am so jealous!
