This week we have another chance to pick up a coveted Battersea Variants medal on Tuesday as we try out the brilliant “King of the Hill”.
The tournament will start at 6.15pm before the quiet club night and Grand Prix matches start at 7.30pm.
Contact Aldo if you want to play, or be there before 6.15pm. And remember, there are only 20 places.
Congratulations also to Blair Connell, the winner of last week’s Black Hole tournament. Blair has now won both our Battersea Variants tournaments.
Gregory Konyakhin Borrelly and Denis Dupuis, two talented juniors, picked up the medals for finishing second and third.
