Club of the Year and Small Club of the Year 2008

The ECF is looking for submissions from Chess clubs for these two awards. We are seeking details of clubs that stand out from the rest and ones that their members feel proud to belong to. It’ time to get recognition of your club by becoming recipients of the award from the ECF.

The submissions should detail the clubs participation in local leagues and competitions, but also cover such items as how the club encourages membership among groups under represented in the general chess population, the contribution made to chess locally and nationally, the activities organised for juniors and comment on how the club interacts with schools and the local community.

The club(s) selected for the awards will receive a scroll, an engraved plaque and digital clock.

Send your submissions by 30 May 2008 to:

John Wickham, 55 Shakespeare Way, Taverham, Norwich, NR8 6SL
