Lancashire Junior Chess

[Gareth T Ellis]

The latest tournament took place 5th Dec 2015, despite a severe storm that flooded many areas there was a good turn out in Colne.

As well as the juniors playing, parents were encouraged to enter their own special tournament, for those that wanted it between rounds there was coaching by 2 young gentlemen who themselves have risen through the system.

Another 6 schools are about to enter the program and more parents/players are looking into starting up school chess in their local region with the assistance of the Association.

It would appear that the only section winner not photographed on the web page is the one girl

[I have to admit to a conflict of interest here - she is a member of my club!]

I was there, they were all photographed in the far corner to prize giving immediately.

Ah - I hadn't gone to the 'read more' bit. It hadn't worked for me, but I think that must have been a slow server response
