The 2026 Willetton Open was held on 29 & 30 August at Leeming Primary School, with 20 players competing over six rounds.

Thanks to all players who took part, particularly those who helped with setting up on Saturday morning and packing away on Sunday evening. The good sportsmanship and helpful spirit shown throughout the weekend contributed to another enjoyable tournament for everyone.

Our thanks also go to Chief Arbiter Andrew Hardegen, Arbiter Dennis Holland and photographer Hui Huang for their assistance throughout the weekend, and to Mike McGregor for keeping the CAWA website reports and tournament updates up to date.
