Due to falling number of children attending we will not be re-starting Thamesdown Junior Chess Club in September.
The next steps on the future of the club are to be discussed within the Wiltshire Junior Chess committee. There have been a number of possiblities raised rather than the club simply dissolving such as under an alternative name, new venue or even new format/frequency but as yet no firm decisions made.
This matter needs proper thought to ensure whatever happens it is sustainable.
It is for this reason we can not re-start in September
All the equipment is currently being held securely and separately to the other WJC kit.
Once any further information is available we will let you know.
If you have any suggestions on options to maintain some form of Junior Chess Club in the Swindon district please send this through to Kelvin Garnett (see contact page for how to contact me). These can then be added to the deliberations of the committee.
Below is a copy of the short note handed out at the end of summer term barbeque.
