My security software warns me off every time I try to access the Penarth website. Is anyone else having this problem? If the site has been hacked, can anyone give an update on the Welsh Open DBA due to be held at Crusade?

If the site has been hacked, can anyone give an update on the Welsh Open DBA due to be held at Crusade? Mine lets me on, but it's Apple, so no idea what effect that might have. The site still shows the show as running. Last I heard from Alan Davison (organiser) was that he was planning to run the Welsh Open as usual, though that was when we saw him back in November at Tarrington. Martin

My (non-Apple) system hasn't had any problems accessing the site. You can also go in via the Penarth & District Society's Facebook page.
Today's post shows the DBA Open as one of the features. No further details about the Open, but the show itself starts at 10am and from memory Alan usually asks players to register by 10.30.

Sorry, my book-mark still had the old Fanaticus but I've had the new one from Martin S. Details at present same as usual.
Doors open at 10am. Registration from 10 - 10:45am. Start play at 11:00am. Three rounds of qualification ideally using world cup format, else Swiss. Lunch Semis and finals for the four qualifiers, three round fast-play Swiss plate for everyone else. I already have the trophies. All four qualifying for the semis will get a trophy, Places 1-3 in the plate as well. Magister Militum are our sponsors again with additional prizes for the Open and Plate winners.
The club have told me if I supply them with a list of expected attendees they will do their best to expedite your entry. So if you know you're coming let me know either on here or via e-mail: aldavion@yahoo.co.uk
Open means open. i.e. you don't need to be Welsh and you may bring any legal army. But it must retain the same options throughout the tournament. Having said that I have allowed folk to use a different army in the plate competition from time to time.
That'll do for now.

Very disappointed that I'm not going to be able to make it down this year. (Someone else will have to take last place.)

Alans? In the meantime, my apologies, for the first time since I started, I will be unable to attend Crusade this year!

I hope to be there. I will check the plans of my Coventry chums.
does "must retain the same options throughout the tournament" mean that troops cannot dismount?
Do you want me to return with the Qaramita?

Do you want me to return with the Qaramita? I've allowed dismounting elements in the past although I realise many are uneasy with the concept.
