Our next AGM will be held during the weekend of 2nd to 4th March 2012 at the Park Inn, Bedford. The Annual General Meeting will take place at 2 pm on Saturday 3rd March 2012.
The five round chess tournament will be open to all blind and partially sighted players and to associate members of the BCA. There will be a major open event and a minor event limited to players whose grade (or estimated grade) is 110 or below.
For a change we return to The Bedford Park Inn (formerly known as the Bedford Moat House), last visited in the autumn of 2005. This hotel has recently been refurbished and is excellently situated, being near shops and the river where pleasant walks can be taken along the river from the back of the hotel.
The cost of accommodation, including dinner, bed & breakfast for members and associate members is £35 per night in a shared room and £45 single. For non-members and for those wishing to stay Sunday night the rates are £50 in a shared room and £65 single. Those wishing to stay Sunday night should send payment to Gill Smith and not to the hotel.
The entry fee, if paid before 11th January 2012, is £10. Entries and bookings accepted after that date carry a £10 late booking fee.
Please send your cheques and your booking requirements to the BCA treasurer, Mrs Gill Smith.
Email Gill Smith
If booking within a week of the closing date, it is recommended that those wishing to attend should also inform the organiser, Mark Hague by e-mail/post of their booking to ensure their booking has been recorded in case their cheque to the treasurer is delayed in the post.

Please send resolutions or other items for inclusion on the agenda to Norman Wragg by 31st December 2011. Please also let Norman know if you are planning to attend the AGM without participating in the tournament.
