Northern Challenge

AM making final preparations for traveling to Newcastle tomorrow for Tim Wall's annual Northumbria congress.
There are, it seems, seven sections: four Fide-rated nine-round tournaments, a five-round ECF tournament, a GM-norm tournament and a tournament variously labelled WGM and IM.
I have entered the Challengers, which is for players with a Fide rating U2000, or with no Fide rating (one entrant does not have Fide standard rating and has a blitz one over 2000, but his ECF standard rating is well under 1800).
I have played in four previous editions of this congress (covid scuppered 2020), without much success.
