Loughborough started with a half point handicap bonus.
Mike C took some risks and lost. Graham B went a Rook for a Pawn up and then blundered back the rook - then agreeing a draw. Graham S drew; and Pete pulled a win out of the bag from what had been a worse position. The handicap was enough to decide the match in Loughborough's favour.

The dining room was booked out this week, so we had club night in the alley where we had to be fairly quiet because of the match, but we had some friendlies and another book swap.
On Tuesday, 24th April, there will be a fairly select club night - we have another new player coming down.
Thursday 26th sees the first round of the lower sections of the County Championship at Wigston.
Well done everyone,
Colin.
