I'm delighted to see so many of the Sussex Juniors entering the Weald Congress the weekend after next. Please pass on to the them and their parents that if they are looking for another congress during the school holidays in the south east then they might be interested in the Thanet Congress August 18-20. go to http://www.thanetchesscongress.co.uk/. The two Laurillard boys have already entered. Entry only £5 for U15s! What could be better - chess and a weekend by the seaside!
