Cornwall Spring Congress 2024
Played on 3rd to 5th May 2024 at the Falmouth Hotel
We returned to the splendid setting of the Falmouth Hotel for this year's Spring congress, incorporating the Cornwall championship (Emigrant Cup), Falmouth Cup and Penwith Cup. Thanks to organisers Rebecca and Colin Gardiner and controller John Constable, the congress ran smoothly throughout with may messages of appreciation from visitors.
Note
Brendan O'Gorman took a number of photographs during the congress. With his kind permission I have published them here. You can see more of his photos on his website.
Under the rules of the competition ungraded players may not win a grading prize and may only receive 50% of any prize to which they are entitled. This does not affect the junior prizes.
10 year old Rami Talab retained the Emigrant Cup and remains Cornwall champion.
