If you find any errors, then please let us know politely
Note that Playoffs for all the teams in B and E divisions will take place in June; it is likely that Trophy finals will take place in June as well (although we will see if this can be avoided)
You will note that the fixture list is stretched (again) and so requests for postponements must be avoided if at all possible
Cup fixtures for the Reyner and Lamb now posted
The designated weeks for cup fixtures are w/c 11 November, 13 January, 10 & 17 March, 12 & 19 May, so please avoid putting fixtures in other leagues in those weeks; it is possible that cup fixtures will have to be allocated outside the designated weeks
Enjoy your chess
