Advice for this one, bring a team that won't melt your brain at 4am!

That said, this is one to get too, a unique experience and stepping out for a break at sunrise is quite the thing.

Special dispensation has been allowed from the wife to be to have one last tournament before the big day so what better way than a seasons worth of games in one go. What have I let myself in for.

Advanced warning - once we get to within a month of the event I’ll start only accepting entries in pairs at a time to ensure even numbers. If you’re on the fence about this jump in sooner rather than later to make sure you don’t miss out!

One month to go, which means entries will now only be accepted in pairs. Pay as usual but until we have a pair your place can’t be confirmed and could be refunded.

Remember if there is enough interest we could expand past eighteen players if needed, although at this point I appreciate there probably isn’t the interest to go much higher.

I was looking into coming in on the train, but can’t seem to book Blyth station. Is it open, if not what’s the best alternative? Cheers

Blyth doesn’t have a train station. Closest big station is Newcastle, then it would be a bus to Blyth.

Morpeth is probably closer, but is also a bus ride to a Blyth and getting to Morpeth will probably be a local train from Newcastle.

Where are you coming from again?

There are buses from within 200 yards of the venue that go to Newcastle town centre, would have to check on timetables for Sunday’s though for the trip home? Drop me a PM if you need a hand planning travel.

Do we need to send rosters in advance? Lost track of which tourneys wanted them and which didn’t

No rosters needed in advance! Will just get everyone to check their opponents in round one.
