Winner of Chess & Bridge London League Prize

Once again, our Division 5 London League team has brought home the bacon. This time I was presented with £50 by Malcolm Pein (courtesy of Chess & Bridge) at this week's AGM. We came second.

Malcolm also asked the meeting for anyone who is interested in coaching in schools to get in touch with him. He has some money to run a coaching scheme next year, which he's calling Chess in Schools and Communities. The charity will pay for any CRB approvals that need to be made.

Note that this not the ill-fated ECF scheme.
