Entries are invited to the 2013/14 Girls School Team Championships and the U19 School Team Championships, generously sponsored by St Catherine’s School, Bramley and Winchester College respectively.

ENTRY FORM – U19 Girls | ENTRY FORM – U11 Girls | ENTRY FORM – U19

Girls
As last year, there will be an U11 Championship and an U19 Championship. Matches will be contested over three boards. Age-handicapping will apply in the U19 event. Games will not be graded. There will be two semi-finals and then a final of six teams in each age category.

There is an entry fee of £10.00 per school (to include one team) and then a further £5.00 for each subsequent team. We have been forced to take this measure to avoid frivolous entries and unfortunate withdrawals.

The Southern Semi-final will take place at St Catherine’s School, Bramley on Sunday January 19th 2014, from 10am until 6pm – http://www.stcatherines.info/
Controllers: Andrew Martin and Neville Belinfante
As last year, St Catherine’s will host the day and provide lunch for all participants at no further cost.

The Northern Semi-final will take place at Cheadle Hulme School on Sunday 26th January 2014, from 10am until 6pm – http://www.cheadlehulmeschool.co.uk/
Controller: Julian Clissold

The final will take place over two days on 12/13th April 2014 at St Catherine’s School, Bramley. The timetable has yet to be scheduled, but it is likely that play will commence in the early afternoon of the 12th and finish at around lunchtime next day. Boarding facilities will be available to those who need it, at a cost of £40 plus VAT per person. This will include several meals and full use of leisure facilites, which include a swimming pool and extensive playing fields.

It was extremely encouraging to see so many girls playing and enjoying chess in our tournaments last year. We hope for a bigger and better event this year.
