| Jean Grosdent winner of the regional tournament on February 13 |
In the South of Belgium the club of Wamme had several tournaments in February. The "regional" event of the month was played on February 13 and Jean Grosdent was the logical winner of the evening, finishing on top of a group of five players. Henri grosdent was runner-up, Daniel Boistelle (who was doing his come-back after a long hiatus) took the third place and then came Philippe Thys and Aurore Grosdent.

| The field on February 21 |
The club also had two promotional events on February 21 and 28. Both events attracted six players and in both case Aurore Grosdent took the honors after dominating the Swiss ladder played in three sessions. Junior Travieso, a former Rochefort player, made his come-back to the game after several years and will be a good extra player for the club for the rest of the season.
