To be fair Jacqui, the leader has played all those on 6, and 2 of the three on 5. This must severely reduce the options open to the arbiters. |

Some very astute preparation booking that far in advance. Did you have to flit between Lodges, or could you book the 15 nights straight in 1 location? |

I seem to recall that previous motions have failed simply because the proposer was not present. Surely the solution to that would be that David got someone who would be present to be the proposer. |

Alan is competing in the Open A event, which features no less than 50 GMs, of whom Alan has played 5, scoring 3/5.
There are four more events down to the ... |
