Here is some footage of the English Open of 1993 at Weston-super-Mare. Ron King won the tournament with Tom Watson 2nd and Bill Edwards 3rd. I did not play in the event but went along to watch and take some film. The footage is not great quality but watchable. I do not have the time to list the players shown in the footage. I have twenty years of videos to upload to youtube, most of which are of better quality than this, so this will take me a lot of time. Hope you enjoy in spite of the poor quality footage. Best wishes to all, Lindus.

Interesting seeing everyone 20 years younger than they are now.

20 years - nothing, just like yesterday ! Lindus, many thanks for sharing, this is a great memo. It will be very nice if you can process all videos with checker players you have and put everything into public even if it cost you some time.

Firstly, my apologies for this long delay in replying. Please forgive my poor manners but I only noticed your post today! yes, I have many such videos of tournaments going back twenty years. I tend to use my smaller, more convenient cameras these days which produce excellent results. I have not been well these past few months but will add more videos when I can.
Best wishes always,
Lindus.

Lindus/Jack, I am wondering if videos (as well as pictures) can be added to online library ?Lindus Edwards wrote:Firstly, my apologies for this long delay in replying.
