WITNEY CHESS CLUB - NEW VENTURE

Kevin D Plant Posted by Kevin D Plant at 01:27 PM on March 12, 2009
Witney Chess Club are hoping to organise a series of evenings with Grandmaster Peter Wells to which we would also like to invite friends and colleagues from clubs around Oxfordshire. The evenings would potentially cover some or all of the following:
 
1. Simultaneous display.
2. Endgame training.
3. Opening training.
4. Middlegame themes.
5. Presentation of recent grandmaster games.
6. Presentation of some of Peter's own games.
7. 'Doctor's surgery' in which Peter goes through attendees' games. 
 
In addition, we are thinking about organising a quiz night which we would probably want to throw open to other clubs as well.
 
Our initial thinking is that the cost per person per evening would be around £5, which would probably include a plate of food and glass of wine to make each evening that bit more sociable.
 
We obviously need to get a feel for the numbers of people who might be interested in this programme so that we can get the catering and venue arrangements right, so I was wondering if you would be willing please to ask around your club members and get back to me with the likely level of interest?
 
Many thanks in advance for your help.
