This is a tournament that we last hosted in 2022. It is an individual tournament that we would like to open up to all ages. It will start at 4pm on the day of the school closure and then start early morning on the Saturday thereafter.
We would really like to have this date added to the calender so that we can be part of promoting chess in the province. An alternate date is early in the year, we could do it on the second weekend back at school, the 24th-25th January, but we do not want it to clash with any other dates and we are aware that the COGH usually happens in that time and our aim is to add to the calender and not steal away people who were already going to take part in another tournament.
We would appreciate it if you could let us know whether there is space for our tournament on either of these dates, if not, we would like to ask the dates that you have so far so that we can line it up with our school calender and search for alternatives.
Thank you very much!
