               Reuben, one of our younger members has had his picture in the paper.. 

A nice piece in this weeks Cornish and Devon post featuring Reuben who was presented with a "Most Improved Player" Certificate at our last mini tournament.

 Due to the pub changing the day that it holds its quiz night we are moving the date of our end of month tournament forward to next Wednesday 17th Feb.

This has turned out be be beneficial to us as the schools are on holiday so some of our younger members may be able to attend.

UKOPEN 2016

This week saw the UKBGF open registration for the UKOPEN 2016.

Ricoh Arena Coventry

This year we will be attending with two and possibly three members. One in the Advanced flight and the other two in the Swiss Beginners.

I have sent off the required email for two entrants but I'm waiting on confirmation from the third.

Hotels yet to be booked, but we stayed in a great Premier inn last year so the same could be on the cards.

Watch this space for a full report of our exploits as well as plenty of pictures.

Most Improved Player 2015

Due to the storms tonight's mini tournament at the Pint & Post was a little short of players. However a good night was had by all with many games played.

The end of month mini tournament for January was won by myself with Lauren Oliver coming a close second.
All the results have been uploaded to the UKBGF website as well as the challonge site.

For full results go to our web site and click the tournament tab. Web Site

At the end of the evening one of our youngest players was awarded a certificate for the
 "Most Improved Player 2015" 

Less than a year ago Reuben Oliver did not know how to play the game.
Now, when playing him you have to keep your wits about you.

Problems Problems Problems

Apologies to anyone having problems with our web site today.  I think go daddy are having a small problem.
When I view stats I am getting some foreign language tags but more importantly when viewing some pages there are problems.

 
Most notably the meetings page, where apparently we are meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.  Nice idea, but unlightly.
