Your children are warmly invited to the first Orpington
Junior Chess Tournament and Coaching day.
WHEN?
Tuesday April 4th. It will run from 9.30am sharp, with
registration from 9 - 9.15am, until 4pm.
WHERE?
St John's United Reform Church, Lynwood Gr, Bancroft
Gardens, Orpington, BR6 0BG
WHAT?
Four rounds of chess and two hours of coaching in small
groups.
If there are sufficient entries, there will be book and
trophy prizes, as well as a prize for the best school or club.
The coaching will be targeted at players from beginner to
those graded 130 but we would not recommend entry for those who cannot
checkmate with a king and queen against a lone king. Those unsure are welcome
to come to Petts Wood and Orpington junior club to see if this tournament would
be appropriate.
The entry fee is £24, but for those entering before March
17th there is an early-bird discount of £5. Entries after 27th March may incur
a late entry fee. We ask that parents enter as soon as possible so that we have
an idea of numbers, which will be limited.
All children must be supervised during breaks.
FOOD
A selection of great value home-made cakes, sandwiches and soups will be provided by a bona-fide (though sadly not Michelin-starred) chef.
