Hull Congress, 3-5 November 2000

Report by John Lawson: This event was staged at the Comfort Hotel, Hull, on the weekend of 3-5 November, 2000. The total entry was slightly disappointing, especially since the rent of the Hotel was high and the Congress made a loss. However, the new venue appeared to be pleasing to most of the contestants and the event may continue there next year, though a return to Hymers College is also possible.
