Season starts early October.. about 6 or 7 weeks away. On weekends I have to work at certain times and I have no idea when my events are on. Every year it is the same. They wait until about two weeks to go, then publish the program! So when I'm planning my social and work calendar, I can't factor in athletics in the October part, so I invariably miss a lot of it. <br /><br />With chess I know: how many rounds, all the times, dates, venue, cost.. the lot. Put it all in one place and you will get more folks playing in the halls around the suburbs. It's a lot of bother going to all the different club sites.. and one or two of them suck.<br /><br />For the Melb area, MCC is Monday, Altona is Tuesday ('Yarraville' is the club name), Ranges is Wednesday (at Ferntree Gully), Croydon is Thursday, Box Hill is Friday, Noble Park is Saturday.James Brennannoreply@blogger.com
