Suggestions made for improvement after 2007:

 

"The area around boards 1-6 of the Open is a tad gloomy"  [We should be able to improve this]

 

"The 15-minute quickplay finish is, IMHO, too short and abrupt...Might I suggest a change to what is virtually the de facto weekend congress rate of 36/1:30 + 30 mins quickplay?" [Any support for this suggestion?]

"I think this was probably the most enjoyable congress I've played in for some time with an excellent venue, smooth running and generally friendly atmosphere."

"Both the organisation and venue are excellent. I particularly like:

  • ·         the name cards by the boards. If only other events would provide this simple service!

  • ·         the tablecloths

  • ·         the ban on alcohol from the playing hall

  • ·         the quiet way in which sets were cleared away at the end of round five while some games were still in progress. Kudos to you for doing it so discretely.

  • ·         the speed of providing results and rating report!

Anyway, I’m looking forward to next year’s event already."

"Fantastic venue....any congress where you can lose an awful round 4 match then play tennis and go in a steam room until round 5 is my kind of congress"
