Dear Parents

With the first week behind us, we had two very good practise sessions on Tuesday and Thursday.  I could clearly see who has been practising during the holidays, and who are still a bit rusty.  Chess players are encouraged not to miss any practise sessions!  If you want a shot at WP Schools Chess colours, you will have to work hard, because you only have one tournament to prove your worth.

Venue confirmed

Talking about the tournament, the venue has been confirmedwe are going to play in our school hall, which is a great privilege for all our players, indeed.  See the back of this letter for the tournament poster, confirming the dates, times that rounds start, when everyone must be there and the age groups.  Please take note that the tournament takes place on Friday afternoon and –evening, Saturday morning and –afternoon.

Entries

If you want to enter your child in the tournament, you will have to fill in the entry form accompanying this letter and poster, and send it to school (me) by the 5th of February.  NO LATE ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED!  NO EXEPTIONS.

You can also enter online, just click here to go to the post with the link.  Just remember that the online entry fee is R30 in stead of R20, when you send the entries to me.

Advancing to the WP Closed

In order for you to advance to the WP Closed tournament, you will have to end at least 10th in your age group.  This tournament will take place on the 1st and 2nd of March.  Only players advancing from the respective age groups in each district trial will be able to enter in this tournament.

Practises

We are practising in the Arts & Culture Room, on a Tuesday and Thursday, from 14:45 to 15:45.  Each player’s results are recorded to determine the top 20 list of players in the school.  We will also have a beginners’ class on Tuesdays, in my class, from 14:45 to 15:15. After this, they will join the games in the Arts & Culture room.

Kind regards

Mr. R. Bekker and Mrs. C. van Niekerk
