your 27th September contact telephone number on

please give Mike Truran a call on 01993 708645.

Child supervision: Due to the limited number of
personnel, the responsibility of supervising
children remains that of their parents or other
responsible adults. If this is your child’s
first chess tournament, we recommend you remain
on site until your child is settled and
preferably for the whole day, as chess
tournaments can be quite tiring for children not
used to them. The tournament is organised by
those with experience of dealing with children
and running chess tournaments.
Sections (Junior event): If entries
permit, we will separate entries into:
(a) a
Minor section for under 50 ECF grade/ungraded
players;
(b) a Major section which is open to
all players, whether graded or ungraded. If your
child is eligible for both sections, please
indicate on the entry form which section you
would like him/her to play in.
