Teams who won trophies should check who has the trophies and let me know

Individuals who have trophies please look them out and I will contact you directly

Thanks

Details of this seasons Seniors event are now available.

We have been loaned an almost complete set of Ayrshire Chess Bulletins and have now placed them on the site in the documents section

This completes what we have been generously allowed access to.

We have not got pages 6/7 of the 75/76 season and would like to receive any information about it's whereabouts.

The 31st edition consists of three pages which came out on the 26th December 1980. The possibility exists that the bulletins ceased publication at that point or a second bulletin out in, presumably, April or so would complete it. Any information as to what happened would be gratefully received.

If anyone has a copy of either buried somewhere we would be very interested in acquiring it to copy for the archive.

Due to the size of the paper used in the original it is sometimes necessary to scan a page twice to capture all the information which hopefully explains why there seems to be duplicate pages.
