Our next event at the Wester Hailes Education Centre is the "Lothian Junior Chess Championships" on Sunday 28th Feb. and which is an OPEN event (with only the title of "Lothian Champion" in each section being restricted to Lothian based players).
Details can be found by following the relevant section link on our home page:-
http://www.ljc.org.uk/
The number of entries at each of our events so far this season have been breaking records with over 100 players in the WH junior congress and over 160 in the last team event, when we had to stop taking entries. So if you want to experience the excitement and atmosphere of a big event get that entry in and do so now!

Unfortunately this date clashes with SNCL so the better juniors will be in Dunfermline with their coaches and chauffeurs

Mike,
Do you think next year you can please avoid clashing with SNCL. One of the junior teams can't make it as they are playing in your event which is causing us a nightmare to scrabble round to find a filler team

What are the sanctions for teams not fulfilling their SNCL fixtures?

demotion if in not bottom division, barred for a year if you are in the bottom division (I believe).

Also affects the Lothians event as people who would have played in it are at SNCL. Its good to see junior teams playing in SNCL with the longer time controls

Yes I agree Andy.
However they have to be committed to turning up on the 4 days otherwise its totally destructive. My team has already suffered from a bye round caused by a no show. Does the sanction mean that the players who have represented the offending team/teams this season are all suspended from playing SNCL next year or can they just change their team name and play as if nothing has happened?
