Newcastle Open - 17th-18th February.

The next tournament in New South Wales will be the Newcastle Open which will be held at the Newcastle Workers club. This generally is an excellent tournament run by the locals. Director of Play for this tournament will be local George Lithgow.

It is a little bit disappointing though that the Newcastle open will be a six round tournament when it has traditionally been a 7 round tournament. This is due to the room not being available for the sunday afternoon. The format will be 4 games on the sunday and 2 games on the sunday. Oh well looks like i'll get home earlier than usual!

I expect an excellent roll up for this event. I urge all sydney chess players to go!
