Apologies for being two weeks late in reporting this event.

Congratulations to our first team of Gavin, Mike, Maxim and Alastair for winning the Major section of this event, repeating our victory in 2023. Excellent results in particular from Maxim and Alastair, who both performed well above their rating. Our second team (Maks, Andrew H, Martin and Peter) finished 6th in the Intermediate section.
