What a way to start the year! We had a fabulous time at Glenunga IHS staging both the Australian Championships and the Australian Junior Championships in January – we had over 440 juniors taking part and it was a terrific success .. and now to build on it!

Pleas note that our AGM is on Thursday 7th March at 7pm at the Chess Centre, 10 Ranelagh St Adelaide – everyone welcome. We will be reviewing last year, discussing the plans for this year and checking on Venues for the inter-school matches.
