At the January 2002 OBA
Committee meeting, and after consultation with members it was agreed that
cash prizes for OBA competitions be replaced by a permanent memento (hence
the increase in entry fees). Entry fees, and accommodation expenses will
continue to be paid for the Pachabo & Corwen qualifiers.

sufficient entries parallel streams, restricted to Bridge for All students,
and beginners with fewer than 200 local points, will be organised for County
