Ian Pheby wins British Veterans Championship

Ian Pheby has won the 16th British Veterans Championship with a score of 7/10 - well played Ian! The full crosstable can be seen here: http://www.iccf.com/event?id=39914 . Trevor Rooms finished in 2nd place half a point behind. This is Ian's 2nd victory in this event as he was also joint winner in 2011/12.

This season saw the last time of the Veterans Championship as a Postal event. From now onwards, this tournament will be a webserver event and BFCC has high hopes that the number of entries will increase significantly because of this change. So, if you are 60 years of age or older (as at 1 September 2014), please consider entering! You can enter online at this website (see Tournament Entry" in the left hand Menu) or, if you are a BCCA member, you can enter via your BCCA membership renewal.
