5th Laurieton 'Spring Open' - Year 2004
 
Our Weekend of Chess was keenly contested by 18 Players. And after 7 rounds Mike Canfell from Armidale emerged victorious with 5.5/7. Mike lost to hard working Gary Losh in Round 2. And Mike Weltner from Taree managed a draw. Mike was just too strong for all other players. 2nd equal to: Gary Losh, Mick Lukic and our most 'frequent flyer' from Sydney Tony Keuning with 5 points. Tony has competed in 17 weekenders in Laurieton and Taree.
