A sizeable contingent of NSDCA players are packing their buckets and spades and making their way up to Blackpool for the 41st Blackpool Chess Conference over the weekend of 10th/12th March.
Rob Shaw (Cheddleton) is playing in the Open Section.
Jacob Boswell (Cheddleton) and Thivyaa Rahulan (Newcastle) are playing in the Major (U181) Section.
Neville Layhe (Crewe), Alan Thomason (Alsager), Jon & Sandra Blackburn (Cheddleton) are playing in the Intemediate (U155 Section).
Dave Price and Martin Gill, (Both Crewe), Julian Hawthorne (Kidsgrove), Mick Renshaw (Macclesfield) and Ken McNulty (Stafford) are playing in Minor (U135) Section.
Simon Layhe, Chris Rhodes and Les Hall (All Crewe) and Sam Parry (Cheddleton) are playing in the Standard (U115) Section.
Rich Wiltshir (Kidsgrove) obviously doesn't fancy their company as he's playing in the Major (U155) Section of the East Devon Congress over the same weekend - Billy No Mates !!
Best of luck to all of them.
