Venue Change For Perlis Open/Gula Open

17 April 2011, Kuala Lumpur – An annoucement from the organiser of the Perlis Open on the 30th April 2011 and the Gula Open on the 1st May 2011 about the change of venue.

Syaiful Zamani says that “First of all I would like to thank you for your kind co-operation to promote this event in your blog/website. However please be informed that the venue is changed from Dewan Warisan to Dewan Belia, Kangar (in front of Hospital Tuanku Fauziah).

Since the new venue is smaller in size, it can only accommodate up to 200 participants only.

Therefore it's highly advisable for all interested participants to complete their registration for both tournaments as early as possible as seats are limited.

Once again, I would like to ask for your kind co-operation announce the changes in your blog/website. Please accept my sincere gratitude for your support towards making the tournaments a success.”
