What? Have you not heard. Following Boris' general election win, and given that it was the biggest tory victory since Thatcher, Countdown have now decided to go back to Thatcher times and reintroduce the classic 9 rounders to the show, and also ban any words of foreign descent. In all seriousness I ...

I've booked 8 spaces in The Old Grey Mare (https://www.oldgreymare.com) for the full weekend (Fri-Sun). I've messaged those who already made their interest known to me, so there are 4 spaces left. It's a room of 5 and a room of 3. £46 pp. First come first served. (For reference last year's Travelodg...

Publishing the details of the scoring system somewhere easily findable would be good. I've tried and failed to find details of this year's scoring system (specifically, how many tournaments count towards each player's final FOCAL points total.

Looking at where to stay for CO:York? There are a few options...
