Mr Joubert, who is organising the Klawer Tour each year, is organising if a chess team can perhaps go with! It will take place on the 24th and 25th of May.  As soon as he knows, I will send out another letter and notification via the blog if we can go, and who is going to go.

Yours in Chess

Kind regards, keep well.
