k. j. “ken” bloodworth (1963 – 1999) & r. h. “bob” jones from 1999. for all this time, it has reported weekly on the chess activities within its readership’s area, devon & cornwall, however, since december 2010, in a cost-cutting exercise and rationalisation, the wmn joined forces with its northcliff group neighbour, the bristol-based western daily press , to produce a weekend supplement in common, called westcountry life. fortunately, they retained the chess column, which means it now gets a much wider readership, and this must be reflected in the scope of what it records. so the activities in somerset and gloucestershire must get equal billing, as it were, with those of devon & cornwall. one must hope this experiment will prove successful and continue. we hope chess followers will purchase the two papers in question, at least their saturday edition, as this is the point of the exercise. however, i have permission to reproduce it on this website for the benefit of those outside the readership area. to that end, i aim to post it here a day or two after its appearance in the paper. bob jones posted in western morning news | tags: chess columns , western daily press , western morning news | no comments » 50th cotswold congress results (09.06.2018.) 989 june 9th, 2018 | author: bob the 50 th cotswold congress took place over the whitsun weekend at the king’s school, gloucester, with the following results: (all points out of 6). open section;
