Derry Township chess Leagues begin March 16th - Leteef Street

Hello,

I forgot to mention in the last email that my next season of the chess leagues in Derry Township will begin on Monday, March 16th. This program provides an opportunity to learn chess in a fun group setting with formal lessons from an experienced chess coach. See the township link below for more information and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We are hoping to have a scholastic league and an adult league this season.

Chaturanga Chess Club - Stan Ward - Mar 1

Hi All,
Attached is the Flyer for our next tournament, The Member Appreciation Double Quads. The Devil is in the details so check out the flyer for specifics. *Note* You do not have to be a club member to play in this popular event. It is $10 for non-members ($5 for North Penn CC members). For 6 rated games against players at or around your own level that's pretty cheap! For club members it's FREE which, last time I looked, is cheaper than cheap! So come on out and join the fun. You must pre-register with me (Stan). No walk-ins. We start round 1 at 7:35 PM...Really!!
See you there
Stan
