Congratulations  to Nathan Cragg, Joint winner in the Minor Section of the Nottingham Congress with 4.5/5, who won £125 prize money

 Nigel Wright also continued his current run of good form, scoring 3/5 in the Intermediate Section, earning a share of a grading prize. This was also Neil Graham's retiring year after 40 years as Controller of the Congress

Steve Burke gave the Congress a miss this year. He was delighted with his decision to attend the Mansfield Town 4-0 victory over Notts County.
