The entry fee is $10.

I can accept Interac E-transfers at exclam DOT online AT gmail DOT com. The Wood Sense Chess Club in Duncan is open every Monday 6-8 pm, when the library is open, and players in the Cowichan Valley can also register there. Players will also be able to pay their entry fee on site.

I will try to improve the online registration, but this is what is available so far. You can place comments and questions here (or on the Facebook pages) and I will get back to you. Nigel.
