April Blitz: Thursday 19 April

This month’s Blitz tournament will be held on Thursday 19 April. (Please note that this is not the date originally announced, which was 12 April; unfortunately we have had to postpone it for a week. Many apologies.) As usual, it will be held in Galway Bridge Centre (upstairs), starting at 7.45, and will consist of 7 rounds, finishing about 10.30. All equipment will be provided. Non-members are welcome, as well as club members.
