Please note that players only receive their medals if they stay to the prize giving.  The only exceptions are those who "book" an early departure at the start of the day.  We are not, with apologies, interested in assisting those who can't be bothered to stay to the prize giving, as we feel that the prize ceremony is just as important as the playing of the tournament.
All results will be included in the new Junior Grading System which, once set up, aims to produce a monthly grade for all players playing in junior competitions.
