London Classic 2011 Schools Coaching
The 3rd London Chess Classic is taking place from Saturday 3rd December - Monday 12th December 2011. The junior chess coaching at last year’s event proved very successful, so we are running it again this year. CSC accredited chess coaches will deliver instructional lessons and provide chess activities and tournaments for the juniors. These activities are all completely FREE OF CHARGE.

The coaching will run from 10.30am-12.30pm and this will give the children enough time to eat lunch after the coaching and take a seat in the auditorium ready for the start of the Grandmaster games at 2pm.
 

Both primary and secondary schools are invited to the coaching, but spaces are limited. Priority will be given to those schools in the Chess in Schools and Communities, “Urban Chess” scheme. If you would like to participate, please download an entry form and return to Sabrina Chevannes, Chess in Schools and Communities, London, W1U 7RT or apply online below.
