The bulletin gave only games and not a crosstable or results list. I've assumed that all results unaccounted for (other than in the last round) were half-point byes. I know this to be the case as regards players scoring 4/6 or more (Duncan and Nohre) from the 1995 BCF Yearbook; for others, it is just a guess.

For the PGN file I have converted BCF grades to four-figure Elo ratings using the then current conversion formula Elo = (BCF x 8) + 600.
