....a letter from the secretary of the Colchester Adult Chess Club who has been voluntarily helping out.

“The Junior Chess Club restarted in September and is very well run by Michael Catabay (and family).  It’s a pleasant friendly club with children of all abilities, and I can see a number of the members have the potential ability of achieving a high level of play.   The Xmas fun night of Duck Chess went off very smoothly, we all enjoyed ourselves, and the whole evening went very well with prizes for all. Overall, I was very impressed by the enthusiasm and good behaviour of the youngsters and they all seemed to enjoy the event.” Hide original message   Clive Bellinger Secretary Colchester Chess Club
