The 2013 Dundee & Angus Congress will take place 11 – 13 October at David Lloyd Leisure near Monifieth. This year will be our 10th running of the modern Dundee Congress and the 9th at this venue.
Points of note for this year:
We have received additional funding so the prize fund has been significantly increased. The new money has been spread across most prize groups with additional grading prizes. This assumes similar to, or better than, entry numbers of last year. Junior prizes have not been increased - instead we have secured the services of one of Scotland's leading junior coaches, Andrew Green. Further details including times and format in due course.
Entry fees are unchanged from last year - £23, £21, £19 and £17.
Our policy of not offering free entry continues.
Rate of play – we are dispensing with the interim time control and quickplay finish. Each player will have 1¾ hours for all moves.
Accommodation – we have an interesting addition to accommodation options in the City Centre. Richmond Serviced Apartments has several two-bedroom apartments that I can obtain at a corporate rate of £75 per apartment per night, so equivalent to £37.50 per room per night on their website. Please contact me if you might be interested. For more info look at ‘Richmond Chambers’ http://richmondservicedapartments.com/. I can also get the more luxurious ‘Richmond House’ for £100 per night (also two bedrooms). These are large enough that you could bring your own lilos/camping beds if you wanted to get an extra person or two in. See our own website for a wider choice – <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dundee-congress.co.uk/accommodation">http://www.dundee-congress.co.uk/accommodation</a><!-- m -->
The website will be down for a short time while it is being updated.
Entry forms will be available at Ayr Congress
