| Alison Brind - Charity Fundraising |

Alison Brind is fundraising for University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity, and they’d really appreciate your support.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
You can donate to their JustGiving page by clicking here .
JustGiving sends your donation straight to University Hospitals of North Midlands Charity and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
Thank you for your support!

They are free to borrow for up to 3 weeks, but you need to sign for them and leave a £10 refundable deposit.

| New Results Format |
 The software behind the results calculations has been updated and may look different for some sessions. It 'affects' those where an unequal number of boards have been played by the competitors. The factored score is calculated using the Neuberg formula, an explanation of which can be found by clicking here. Personally, I wouldn't bother unless you have a mathematics degree or want a headache. Suffice it to say it doesn't make a lot of difference!
