Re: 2008 CHESSCA OPEN: Last but not least...
...Why would you spam the board with FIVE THREADS of pictures instead of just making ONE THREAD and either posting all the pictures in there or linking to them?

Re: 2008 CHESSCA OPEN: Eye Candies
Great Pictures Mei. It's good to see that there are people out there who promote chess the right way. We should all take lessons from you.
Will Chessca Open be on a regular date and time from now on, so we can book the dates off to play in the tournament next year? Looks like a very good site you had this year. |

Re: 2008 CHESSCA OPEN: Eye Candies
Thank you for your kind words, John.
The Elora Mill Inn has been such a wonderful site for the tournament this year. The service and hospitality demonstrated by the staff has been excellent. I hope to run Chessca Open at the inn next year as well. Tentatively, the date is not set (I will need to coordinate the date with other tournament organisers in ON). I will let you know the date and further information on next year's event once I finalise the details. Have a great weekend, Mei. Last edited by Mei Chen Lee; July 10th, 2009 at 10:30 PM. |

Re: 2008 CHESSCA OPEN: Eye Candies
Where is a winner's photo?
 I'll need to visit the next tournament and look through that magic window. Maybe it the way to Wonderland  I agree that Elora is really a beautiful place with Elora Gorge, Elora Quarry, and Elora town. Worth to visit. If you brave enough take a tubing in Elora Gorge Conservation Area, as well. |
