Note for Junior ChessOrganisers

The championships were well run and in goodaccommodation. I would recommend them to any group of juniors who wished toplay abroad but not travel too far or at too great a cost. Next year the championshipswill be in Dublin.  Manchester willcertainly be looking to take a party.
