"New" Venue Popular for Welsh Open
Wed, 05/07/2023 - 14:05 — Martin HarveyOn 24-25 June, the switch back to Barmouth's Dragon Theatre proved popular with the 30 attendees, who took advantage of a rare whole-weekend tournament on the BGA calendar. The theatre was the tournament's very first venue in the seaside town, back in 1993. It felt good for the event to be supporting a fine, renovated community amenity, for this 29th edition.
The weather was mixed, but there were chances to climb the cliffs for views of the town, its wide bay and the start of Snowdonia national park's scenic mountainous region.

Joint Winners at Cambridge
Fri, 24/03/2023 - 09:26 — Tony AtkinsFor the second time this year an event in Cambridge had to close its entry list some days before because of high demand to play.
