If you agree with Charlie the Chess Cat and I that we would really like to see more chess events in this area (and would enthusiastically support them if only we knew about them in advance), perhaps you could use whatever medium or influence you have to let 4NCL know!
I realise that maybe they needed more GM’s or hotel guests or whatever and weren’t too bothered whether I pitched up or not but I’m sure we could have drummed up a bit of business and publicity between us.
