Held at the ACBS Clubrooms : 15-16 June 2013
Report by Malcolm Beehre : There were a couple of top players missing this year, but their places were taken by up and coming junior players, and also player who just moved to NZ, Mr D K Singh, who is certainly an incredibly good player and is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
