This is now followed by a real MERS tournament. The MERS certification (1 point) is granted by EMA since the event meets all conditions for a similar tournament, even though the UK has not yet joined the European association. Subscription to the event costs 20 GBP (22 euros, 30 US dollar). It will take place on Saturday June 26th and the venue will once again be the Guildford Golf Club. Guildford is around 50Km to the south west of London, and is easily accessible from both Heathrow and Gatwick airports, as well as by excellent road links from all directions, including the South Coast. Venue constraints will limit the entry to 48 players. To subscribe to the UK Riichi Open
