The Junior Section runs on Wednesday evenings from 6:00pm - 7:00pm, at a cost of $60 for an annual subscription, or $2 casually, with the final evening being at the end of November.
The Canterbury Chess Club Grades have been fully reviewed and updated. View the new criteria using the links to the left.
This section of the club was started in 1996 by Pat Jordan, a former member of the club. When he left for England in early 1998, the running of the Junior Section was taken over by Craig Hall.
Since then, the section has grown each year, with Craig running successful tournaments during each set of holidays, and creating a grading system, including badges and certificates, with Craig and Jacinta writing material to help juniors work their way through the grades. For information on any of this, have a look at our grading page or our junior tournaments page.
