We
are still running. Tonight's game was a 3 vs 3, with 3 additional players
(including me) in and out during the games for the social night. One chap
came to the club for the first time in seven months. John was greeted with
smiles and hellos. There are a number of players depending on the Club to
keep themselves in a fit mental state.
Holmfirth
won but we are just glad to be playing. I suspect the Government will
swing back in shortly and we will need to be inventive to continue OTB
play.
Note
that I took the pictures, wearing a mask (see reflection in 1st photo!).
This week Belgrave (Halifax) beat David Browns (Honley), as well as
Holmfirth defeating Huddersfield. The results do not count, we are
just enjoying the play. Plenty of positive comments about the random
board order as well. When we get through COVID (depending on how many
clubs are left), I think we may keep this format.
Time
control has now reduced to one hour on each clock (max two hours) due to
curfew. I also removed the requirement to write down moves to a)
support slowcoaches and b) minimise touch risk.
