Holidays

I'm off on my holidays soon, so this blog will be quiet for a while.  I just wanted to let you know what we had coming up at the club over the next few weeks.

22 August 2011 - Chess lecture

We are lucky enough to secure the services of the excellent Norman Stephenson to deliver one of his chess lectures.  Norman prepares his lectures carefully and presents them by playing through famous grandmaster games and his own games.  An example below from his "Interplay of strategy and tactics".

Norman took the audience through the ideas behind the moves, hidden tactics and overall strategies.  Norman has had years of teaching experience and presents these lectures in an enjoyable and informal fashion.

The lecture is free, so if you can make it, kick off is at 19:15.

29 August 2011 - Bank holiday.
The club is open, but is usually quiet.

5 September 2011 - Club's AGM
The club's members meet to discuss the topics on the agenda.  There is usually time for a game of chess afterwards.

12 September - Junior club
Yes its the return of the kids!  All ages and abilities welcome.


Whet your appetite before the lecture.  Be assured Norman's commentary turns these games into front row entertainment, he should be on TV, he really is that good.  No he's better...
