A Date For Your 2017 Diaries

The dates for the 2017 edition of the Warwickshire Open weekend tournament have been announced, and this excellent event - run by ex-KCC member Ed Goodwin - will be held on February 25th/26th. Venue, as last year, will be Coventry Rugby Club in The Butts, Coventry, CV1 3GE. There are 4 sections, so there is a tournament for everyone, no matter what your playing strength:-

Open

Under 170

Under 145

Under 120

In last year's event I had the misfortune to lose gruesomely to Bernard C, of all people. In fact, given his recent form, that might well have been the last game he won! I blame the loss on the fact that he only lives about 3 minutes walk from the tournament venue, so he obviously had home advantage.
