John Robinson Youth Chess Trust

[Scott Crowther]

Does anyone have any info about the criteria and application process for this Fund, to help establish a new junior chess club? A website link would be great.
Thanks.

[Clive Blackburn]

It looks as though applications have to be made by post rather than online:-

I couldn't see an application form or detail of what info is required, or even how much it's possible to apply for...?

[Clive Blackburn]

You are right Scott, I suppose you could write telling them what you want it for and asking for more information.

I send any applications to David Anderton by e-mail: [email protected]

[Peter D Williams]

I believe the Trust meets every month to discuss applications and any other issues that may come up.

[Scott Crowther]

Thanks all, have emailed David.

I found this article on John Robinson interesting http://www.lrca.org.uk/lrca/middlegame/21.pdf. Does anyone know when he first became involved in chess in Northamptonshire?

[Nick Thomas]

No but he was active in the late 70s when I was a junior there.

[David Shepherd]

Ok,thanks that makes sense that's when I was playing as a junior there too - when he died I recognised his name.
