August. 2010

 

U3A Norwich Chess club will meet on the 3rd Monday of each month from 10am to midday at Ryrie Court, Unthank Road. The first meeting will be on October 18. £1  each per session to pay for the hire of the venue. U3A Norwich committee has provided funds for new chess sets -THANK YOU!!!. The club will provide tuition for learners, mentoring for improvers, and match opportunities for confident players. Confident players will be asked to mentor improvers but will always be offered a proper match as well if possible. A league for players will be set up, with a  U3A NORWICH CHESS CUP to be won at the end of the year. Two tutors of club standard play and experienced in teaching chess and running clubs will be available, one to teach learners, the other to organise and help improvers and players. Learner and improvers will be given chess assignments between meetings to encourage their development, if they wish.

There are currently some places left in the group.
