Monday night chess begins!

The first Monday night chess get-together has been a success. One adult chess player/student and a number of the children from the Saturday chess class showed up. Not bad for a first time!

The adult student learned about some endings and the kids played some chess, got a few "checkmate in 1/2/3" for homework, and ... learned to play Bughouse! Fun, fun, fun.

Much thanks to the Adult Services Customer Services Librarian, Sheila Hammond-Todd, who is responsible for the fine poster you see above and for including a write-up about the new chess club on the Library website. Thank you, Sheila!

Chess Club at Cowichan Branch of Vancouver Island Regional Library in Duncan

Hi friends! With the Children's chess class winding down for the summer, I noted that a few (adults) were interested in continuing with a chess club of some kind. So I inquired at VIRL and they have given the green light to go ahead on Monday nights with a chess club! How good is that!?

Anyway, the club will be scheduled for Mondays at the Cowichan Branch, starting on May 27th, from 6 pm to just before 8 pm. (The library closes at 8 pm sharp.) There has been some interest expressed, so we will see how many turn up.

If you are reading this and either are considering attending OR know of some others who would be interested, then please feel free to post a comment here.
