Andrew,

You might be aware that we run a number of events south of the border. I would like to make you aware of a couple of forthcoming events that might be of interest to Scottish players

Uxbridge International. A series of all play alls for players of all strengths, including two IM norms sections. We have 3 spaces left (for titled players) and any Scottish FM will receive a 50% discount if he enters by 14th July 2010.

e2e4 Young Masters. A 9 round swiss for players born on or after 1st January 1989. It would be great if Scotland we able to send a team to this event. If you were able to send 4 or more players we would be prepared to offer free entry to every 4th player.

I've attached the entry forms for these events in case you are able to publish or publicise. All details can be found on our website at www.e2e4.org.uk and of course if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Kind Regards,

Sean Hewitt
