Sorry for the long links...
Before I submit to site admins for inclusion on the official downloads page, I wonder if anyone can help me out with the round 3 game between Jim Doyle and Jesper Morch Lauridsen, I was unable to decipher the handwriting… I’ve scanned the scoresheets, pdf here-https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6mXoowN55ZqQU1FYVEyT0Z0ZFU/view?usp=sharing

There aren’t too many from the Premier event, on Saturday when I was in the Premier hall I noticed one of the players who seemed to be distracted by my shutter, which I didn’t think would be heard. I didn’t take any further pics in that hall. Apologies if I disturbed anyone.
If I can address a few points…
Heating – I was aware of a few complaints about the heating, and upon reviewing my photos of the weekend there were more than a few who were keeping their coats on. This was quite disappointing, the janitor told me that he could try fixing the heating if it were broke, but his control panel says it’s working as it should, but that he had no control over the temperature. I hope this is something we can improve for next year.
Increments – There were no increments this year or last, but Alex McFarlane has recommended we switch to increments, stating that 2 games in round 5 were effectively decided by the clock. Having gone through the scoresheets I reckon there are probably 3 or 4. I think we’d be foolish not to switch, and will suggest to CE Council that we do.
Scores etc. – we had no wifi, Andy had his phone occupied with the live boards and everything else was just that little bit more difficult to do without internet. Janitor says that the school’s ISP was changed the week before, I had my laptop and tablet with me and we could all see the school’s strong signal, the passwords (we tried 4) just didn’t let us in. Bookseller Jim Fisher tried attaching his laptop wired into the wall in the janitor’s office but still couldn’t connect.
Numbers… were down quite a bit on last year, some I’ve spoken to privately have indicated study for exams quite a common reason for not common along. It’s around this time every year so that’s probably not the reason for numbers being so low. I’d be interested to hear from anyone their reasons why they didn’t play.
Canteen – great… so I’m told… I didn’t get much opportunity for a bite.
Thanks to all who did make it along, I’d be similarly interested in any feedback you might want to give;-)
