The first tournament being held in Sutton Coldfield on April 18 will cost £5 for Juniors and Seniors and £10 for Masters. Players must preregister by emailing their player information to the tournament organizer. The tournament will follow 2015 VGC format. Further information can be found on the event's Facebook page.
