Have any clubs planned stuff this year (perhaps for the 20 July International Chess Day - a Saturday) to make use of the global celebrations to raise the profile of chess locally?
I'm looking to do something at the Jonathan Penrose Chess Park ( https://www.mercurytheatre.co.uk/jonath ... hess-park/ ) and a game or two with other places could be fun - Wivenhoe Chess Club was involved in one last year https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... 6346963185

Re: FIDE Centenary in the UK
I would expect the FIDE NGB for England (the ECF) to take a lead in this anniversary celebration.
I imagine that the ECF FIDE delegate is busy behind the scenes planning stuff.

If everyone has the same expectation then no clubs are using this opportunity. Certainly none that has a member of this forum. Probably all too busy playing chess to worry about marketing...John Upham wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2024 4:53 pmI would expect the FIDE NGB for England (the ECF) to take a lead in this anniversary celebration.

Absolutely right and thank you for highlighting the centenary of which I, for one, was totally unaware.David York wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 9:44 pmIf everyone has the same expectation then no clubs are using this opportunity.

Re: FIDE Centenary in the UK
Your link is to a very old mention. I see this year a few online events are planned but nothing I can see OTB. By now all the publicity is for the British Championship, which starts after the International Day of Chess. Surely as it is on a Saturday this year, clubs could do something on 20 July?Kevin Thurlow wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 8:54 amThe anniversary has been mentioned before

There are two issues with trying to get clubs to do anything on that date: it's in July, and it's a Saturday.David York wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 6:46 pmYour link is to a very old mention.
