[Bska] Skat at MSO 2007

[David Parlett]

Dear Skat-player

The 2007 Minds Sports Olympiad is now scheduled for Saturday August 18th 
to Monday 27th (Bank Holiday). Last year's venue is unfortunately not 
available and this year's will take place in the United Reformed Church 
Hall, Darkes Lane, Potters Bar (about 10 minutes walk from the station 
and with adequate car parking facilities).

We have been invited to organise a Skat tournament and previous 
experience suggests that a Saturday or Sunday would be best. Saturday 
18th is the date of a BSkA tournament at the Plough, when we will be 
joined by our friends from Denmark, and Sunday 19th is only available to 
us in the morning. We had therefore better make it the following 
Saturday or Sunday, 25th or 26th.

The MSO needs to recover its costs from entry fees and the event would 
cost about £15 per player, with a reduction for under 19s. There will be 
trophies (not medals) awarded to the top three players. There are no 
cash prizes unless an independent sponsor is found.

Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to play at the 
MSO and whether you can make either Saturday or Sunday or, if not, which 
one you can do. As soon as we have a minimum of six probable players for 
one of the two days I will book it with Tony Corfe, who is at present 
trying to timetable everything.

I promised Tony I'd let him know by next week whether we had enough 
potential players to make a booking, so a rapid response (whether 
positive or negative) would be much appreciated.

Best regards
