Shropshire Junior chess Academy

Welcome to all junior chess players in the county. The exciting news this month is the launch of a new Junior Chess Academy to help budding youngsters develop their chess skills and have more fun by winning more games! The Academy will have a regular monthly meeting on a Saturday morning which will involve some coaching, competitive games and lots of fun - and there may even be the odd prize to win! There will be lots of puzzles and fun ways to learn and all participants will have the chance to progress through a series of levels from Pawn to Knight, Bishop and Rook with certificates and badges to be earned. We'll tell you more about this at the first meeting. The club will be held at TRINITY SCHOOL, FORD, NR SHREWSBURY SY5 9LG at 10-12 on the following Saturday mornings this term. Sat 20 Sep Sat 4 Oct Sat 1 Nov Sat 6 Dec The final Academy meeting of the term (6 Dec) will be followed by the Junior Chess Congress from 12pm-5pm. The Academy will be run by Shropshire junior chess coordinators Francis Best and Steve Rooney, both of whom are CRB-checked. There is a small fee to register for the Academy and for the course material and certificates at various levels which will all be produced to a very professional level.
