In case any of you might not be on Rory's mailing list, he has announced that the next Cork tournament will be over the weekend of 28th/29th November. 5 rounds (McMahon, I presume), three rounds Saturday, two rounds Sunday, venue to be confirmed but almost certainly on the UCC campus. More details to follow.
I'll be heading down for this - it looks possible to catch the train down on the Saturday morning if you don't mind being at Heuston at 7am, but arriving on Friday evening might be more relaxed and offer more time to enjoy Cork's many fine public houses. Any else from Dublin fancy it?
If you're looking for a place to stay, I'd recommend Garnish House (
