Vary your life and head north !

By Chess player demand I am again running the Chester le Street Summer Chess Congress at Park View School /Community Association, Church Chare, Chester-le-Street, Co. Durham DH3 3PZ .

My Contact details Email: [email protected] – five round Swiss with three sections, increased prizes in all sections. Open, Major (under 171 grade), Minor (under 136 grade) . Entry form and full details available from the ECF calender.

Sell it to the wife by advising her she can go shopping to the metro centre !

For the kids Beamish open air museum and the beaches ,castles , older teens night life in Durham and Newcastle.

For those single grumpy old men chess players, (and you know who you are ),plenty pubs and chess banter in the real world .

So off the sofa dust the books down and get ready for this chess event !

Mine and Dave’s entry is going in the post today Paul, looking forward to it

I didn’t attempt to put my July grading down and slip into the minor

Great Jon

Make sure you come to the rather excellent night out in Durham City on the Saturday night the views are excellent in more ways than one

As always I cannot be held responsible for you condition on The Sunday ! There's always Thanet run by my good friend Kev T for those wishing to ensure fine Sunday play.

Oh I'll be there, I can't see myself been on 3 out of 3 on Saturday night in that section

I would like to thank the person who sent the congress a cash donation in the post. Although it is not great to post cash . I am happy to accept any anonymous and/or named donations.

Thanks Paul

Still time to enter !
