BGA Public Liability Insurance - Possible Issue
Tue, 12/09/2023 - 09:37 — Colin WilliamsMembers should be aware that a question has arisen as to whether the BGA’s Public Liability Insurance does in fact cover them. We are working as a matter of urgency to clarify the situation, but until we have a definite solution members should act on the side of safety and consider that they do not have Public Liability Insurance for themselves or their events from the BGA.

"Knives Out" at Edinburgh Open Tournament
Sun, 10/09/2023 - 15:55 — Tony AtkinsThe Edinburgh Open was again held at the "St Columba's by the Castle" Episcopal Church Hall. This year, nice weather meant they could use the garden of the church hall as a review space. Overall turnout was up on last year with 29 players and pleasingly included three first-time tournament players.
The bar was set at 2k, which made for a very competitive field of seven players who could win the competition. Local player Grzegorz Kudla (2k) won the tournament with three wins from three games, following a tense final game with Ai Guan (Birmingham 1k).

"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.
