Incoming!

My friend Mick Riding is working very hard to create new chess events.

This message is from the man himself...


ECF NORTH v SOUTH CHALLENGE


On September 5 (match starts half 6) we have the opportunity to take part in a historic rematch between North and South, the first since 1894.

The occasion is about participating. Of course it's nice if you're a 200+ ECF player, but us lesser mortals need not worry. The match will look to pair people up as closely as possible to their playing strength - so there's room for all.

On the back of our stand out efforts in the County, Pool and U100 matches this would be a big fat cherry on the cake. And The North has never won this challenge. Time to put that right yes? 🙂

The only prerequisite is ECF membership. Be aware most expire end August. So if you haven't renewed please do - or at least sign up as a Supporter (£10) which can later be upgraded to membership - and your £10 will counts towards membership.
