And now it seems that (from Steven):

There have been 4 new entries for the tournament, so a revised pairing is attached. This brings total number of players to 29, great to see the number of players growing significantly.

A full lightning night!

From Steven:

Firstly, I want to say how terrific it was to have 33 players at the lightning on tuesday. This is by far and away the biggest attendance we’ve had at a single night in many years. Special thanks goes to Tony for getting a number of juniors down, however there were a large number of senior players, which is exciting for the year ahead.
Attached are the results for the tournament, Dean, David and Vishal jointly won with 6/7, well done to the winners.
Next week is the start of the next 5 round tournament, the Purdy Cup.
