This event will attract master points but there will be no impact on NGS. It is free for mentors and £4.80 for students; payable on the day. Please sign up at the club or email me. We need more mentors - please support it if you can.
Thursday 22 October - 1.30pm Swiss Pairs
Feedback from our first Swiss Pairs event (11 December 2025) was really positive. So we will be running another one. It is a pairs event and so you can simply turn up with your partner as normal. The movement is different to a normal pairs event. It will be explained at the beginning of the session.
