2008 Programme

As the heading suggests, this is the intended programme for 2008, although things may change slightly. In particular individual Lightnings and/or Grim Reapers may be replaced with other similar one-night events. All club tournaments are free to play in, but all participants need to be members of the club. There will also be junior tournaments held during the holidays and the All Canterbury Championships, which will be held over Labour Weekend.

For prospective members, the best night to attend the Club for the first time are the Social Chess evenings, Lightnings, Grim Reapers or the Gambit Tournament. Unrated tournaments such as these are played purely for fun, and are an excellent introduction to the club.
