The U16 team also had a great day, finishing a superb third, only half a point behind second place Hampshire.
Well done to everyone involved! A full report can be found on our Junior Team News page.
Child Protection Policy
The Lancashire Chess Association's AGM held on 2nd September 2009 adopted a new Child Protection Policy. Actions to implement it have now commenced.
Junior Players Course
Lancashire Chess Association's Chief Junior Coach, Dave Gaston, has produced a Junior Players Course.
The aim of this course is to take new players to chess, teach them the basics of the game, and then show them techniques and strategies to bring them up to a standard where they can hold their own in a competitive game, whether it be league or congress.
The course manual is ideal for anybody running a junior chess club. To obtain a free copy, please get in touch through our feedback form.
