Mid-Sussex Chess League

And so farewell ...

16 Jul 2005

(This is a personal message from David Roberts.)

As many of the members of the league will know, last November I married Jenny, who lives in the Forest of Dean. It's rather a long journey to matches from there, so at the League AGM on 24 May I resigned as Match Recorder and Webmaster. Since then I've been heavily involved in my freelance work – compiling, editing and typesetting a book of a million and a quarter words – and it's only now that I've been able to find time to update the site, and to bid a final farewell to my chess-playing friends in Sussex.

But this is it. I've tidied up last season's results into the archive, fixed up a few loose ends, and as of now, hand over to David Fryer, who will be your new webmaster. The site will in future be run from www.midsussexchess.org.uk. Please adjust your bookmarks.

At the Sussex County Chess Association Jamboree on 11 July Richard Johnson presented me with a trophy on behalf of the league, in thanks, it says, for bringing the MSCL into the 21st century. It occupies a proud place on our sideboard.

It's been great fun knowing you all, and I'll look back on my time in Sussex with the greatest fondness.
