Yesterday I dropped by Stratford Library for an event announcing and celebrating the expansion of the Newham Chess Project into even more local schools thanks to additional support funded by East Village (originally mentioned in this post on 4 March).
School kids learning about one of the world’s greatest games from British Champion, Grandmaster Gawain Jones (pictured above) in a shiny and new library? Beautiful.
I’ve no need to really reinvent the wheel with respect to content about the event, though, as The Londondeer’s already summed things up nicely on his blog.
However, I would like to help spread the word and reiterate that Stratford Library is to host a weekly chess club every Thursday from 5.30pm … STARTING TODAY … and that the club needs volunteers like you. Find out how to become a coach at the Chess in Schools & Communities website.
