Snippet from Paper showing BSO Victory
Can I say thanks to Peter Slater for finding this snippet from the paper.
It shows our very own Ron Williams and others from the BSO chess team from a few years back.
I think the trophy is still used to day for the winners of the league.?!
Payment of Subs
Can I gently remind those who have yet to pay their subscriptions that these should be made soon. Jon Gilbert has to pay zone fees to the WCU by the end of October.
If Dave Norris could receive the subs then he will forward payment to Jon Gilbert.
Many thanks
David
