- CONGRESS CANCELLED. The DCCA Congress Director Tim Wall has just
made the following announcement:
Hi everyone,
It is with great reluctance that I have to announce the cancellation of
the County Durham Chess Congress, which was due to be held 7-9 December,
2018.
This is due to a low number of entries, which stood at 31 as of this
morning. Durham County Chess Association feels that the financial cost
of going ahead with the Congress would be too great, and has therefore
decided to cancel the event.
The future viability of the congress, at a time when weekend congresses
in the North East in general are not being well supported, will be
reviewed by the DCCA.
I would like to apologise to those people who have entered. All entry
fees will be returned.
If you have any queries, please feel free to write to me and I will be
happy to answer your questions.
Best regards, Tim
28.11.2018
- The annual DCCA Congress, due to be held over the weekend of 7-9
