Upcoming Events - EPSCA Primary Schools Team Event Under 11 & Under 9 - Richmond Zone - Twickenham Prep School - Sat 4 Feb 2012

Dear Parents and Chessplayers

We are pleased to welcome you back to Richmond Junior Chess Club for the Academic Year 2011/12. By now you will know of some of the changes occurring at the club and we are sorry it's taken us a while to finalise details.

Peter Sowray
Peter Sowray has stepped down from the day to day management of the club which will be taken over by myself. Working with Peter, I know he has made a great contribution to Richmond Junior Chess Club over the years. He will be missed by myself and James. In the short term Peter will still do some coaching at the club.

New Club Premises
The club has now moved premises and will reopen at ORLEANS PARK SCHOOL on Saturday 17 September. The club will run from the "HUT" - there will be signs on arrival. The car park at the school is open for pick up and drop off.

New Opening Times 1-4pm
Thanks so much for all your comments on times etc.. was most helpful. Overall, it appears an afternoon session is best. On rugby international days the club may need to run sessions AM - we will keep you informed. There are very few internationals for 2011/12 season.

Richmond Cub Session
For the time being, there will be no cub sessions offered.

Members Pack
You can download a Members Pack here. Fees are £105 per term or £225 annual (slight increase - to cover rent increase). We are happy for the first term for members to pay £105 and upgrade to annual membership in January with another £120. Online payment is best and simple using the 'Payments' button on the left hand side of this page - and is set up to take payments from NOW.

London Junior Chess Congress - Richmond Zone
As per last year, the event will take place on Saturday 1st October at Twickenham Prep School. Entry fee for all RJCC members is at a reduced rate of £5. Myself and Peter will be running the event and James Coleman will run the afternoon club session at Orleans Park. We would like to see most children attend this local event. Download an entry form here.

Myself, Peter and James look forward to seeing you at the Club on Sat 17 Sept.

Please direct all emails, questions etc... to me at marie@rjcc.org.uk

All the Best
