Would love to have a field like that at the Scottish, maybe one year.
Already more players than the last time we held it in Edinburgh (38). I know Alex is working diligently to get titled players for the event and I am confident there will be sufficient there to give norm chances. Also good to see quite a few of our norm chasing players there. Nothing would give me more delight that having to print out that norm certificate on the final day!
Quick look at numbers since the start of the Open Era.
2015 Edinburgh 70 (Karen mentioned to me that we were now over 70)
2014 Glasgow 154
2013 Helensburgh 55
2012 Glasgow 113
2011 Edinburgh 38
2010 Hamilton 33
2009 Edinburgh 89
2008 Glasgow 55
