Countdown in Edinburgh

From Countdown

Countdown in Edinburgh is a Countdown tournament held in the city of Edinburgh in Scotland. There have been eight "modern-day" events held so far, though the Edinburgh Countdown Club had held tournaments from its inception in 1989. The earliest three tournaments were cohosted by Mike Brown, Nita Marr and Richard Priest, and were held at the Edinburgh Countdown Club's home, the Braid Bowling Club.
