27/9 The League's newest recruit

Congratulations to Mark Hogarth, the 4NCL's Sponsorship, PR and Marketing Director, and his wife Hilary on the birth of their first child, Lucy Jayne Hogarth.

Lucy Jayne Hogarth

A message from Mark ...Blonde-haired, blue-eyed little Lucy Jayne Hogarth was born on 31st August 2005 at 10:10pm. She weighed in at 7lb 7oz. Mother and baby doing very well, father is exhausted but ecstatic. Too early to say yet if she will be an e4 or a d4 player. Lawrence Cooper requested that we register her for this season just in case we're short of female players!
