UK Open Sudoku and Puzzle Tournament 28-29 April 2012

No, it's not a bonus Friday puzzle I'm afraid.  This is for the benefit of the 22.5% of the traffic this blog has attracted in its current incarnation, heralding as it does from the UK.

The wonderfully fabulous UKPA is having a two day puzzling event in Manchester at the end of April.  If you enjoy the puzzles on this blog, then you will love what's on offer at this event.

Even more, if you've ever trawled your way through one of my horrible long championship reports and thought that you'd like to have a go, then this will give you a good idea of what it's all about: getting together a good crowd of like-minded puzzling enthusiasts and together enjoying a quality set of puzzles.  You can look forward to puzzles from the following sources:

• Thomas Snyder
• Deb Mohanty
• Palmer Mebane
• Puzzler Media
• Grant Fikes
• David Millar
• Laurence May/Vexus (Navigrid etc)
• Clarity Media
• Tawan Sunathvanichkul (UK puzzle cruise)
• Vladimir Portugalov
• Rishi Puri
• Andrey Bogdanov
• Gareth Moore
• Possibly even the odd puzzle from me!

Anyhow, I'd thorough encourage people to get involved.  If you are thinking that it might not be for you, I can only say that it's definitely worth a try.  You never know, you might even surprise yourself!
