Booking at Telford for the January weekend.

The Telford Moat House have imposed a limit of 100 rooms for chessplayers wishing to book for the Saturday night only. There are a further 50 rooms that are being reserved for non-4NCL hotel guests who typically book weekend breaks (i.e. both Friday and Saturday nights). Clearly, if chess players want to book both the Friday and the Saturday nights, they will have access to these 50 rooms.

If any of the 50 rooms are still free for the Saturday night a week before the 4NCL weekend, these will be released to chess players.

If chess players want to avail themselves of this late room release opportunity, they should ask to be put on the waiting list and get in touch with the hotel a week before the 4NCL weekend. Late room releases will be allocated on the basis of earliest names on the waiting list first.

If chess players would rather not take the risk of being put on the waiting list, the hotel is happy to give details of other hotels close by if asked.
