As you may know, we’re running some trial sessions for a potential new group for older children and families during the summer.

Younger children in this area are well catered for by primary school clubs, and, for ambitious players, Richmond Junior Club, who do a great job serving this market.

Chess is now becoming more popular with both younger adults and older children, and we believe there’s now a gap in the market for a group for 11-16 year olds, for whom the main club might be too late in the evening or too intimidating.

We’re running FREE trial sessions for five weeks, from this Thursday, 30 July, from 5:15 to 7:15, to ascertain the level of interest for a club of this nature.

If you have children of this age group (we’ll also accept younger children as long as they’re playing seriously at home) please bring them along.
