Provisional Welsh 2018/4 Rating List

Russell Sherwood Sunday, September 2, 2018

As always this is provisional until the full list is posted. Gareth Yeo continues his climb, although Tony Balshaw also puts on a few points to almost maintain the gap. Special mention goes to Andrew Smith in gaining 42 elo! Personally quite happy to see the tanker starting to turn!

Pictured are Uwe Staroske (Germany, ICCF Qualifications Commissioner), Austin Lockwood (Wales, ICCF Services Director and WCCF Secretary), Andrey Pavlikov (Russia, ICCF Zone One Director) and Eric Ruch (France, ICCF President) following their successful hike to the summit of Snowdon during the 2018 ICCF Congress in Llandudno.

Unfortunately the Welsh weather intervened and visibility was very poor!
