Yep…the Juniors were back and in large numbers. Nothing like a whole heap of kids, a few Adults and a lot of chess pieces with boards to play on.
John, the Great Delegator decided to arrange a new set up with himself, Rudolf and Sean coaching small groups of Juniors around small tables away from the main noisy hub. That left the Mums, some Dads and a mightily confused Dinosaur controlling the rest…………Hah!!!…..no chance!
The mums were fantastic, patient, smiling, looking after all the kids and plotting…yep…..plotting how to improve things next time round. Admit it John….they’re better organised than we are.
As for keeping score……well handing that task to someone who never reached the dizzy heights of 10% in his Maths exams was like handing Donald Trump the Presidency of the United States…………..Well……………..the winner this week was Ron with 6, followed by Dharsa & Derrick with 3.
There were numerous players with 2 points,, numerous kids who decided not to tell anyone the score, and just carry on playing. Numerous kids who added to their score by playing the same person again with an obvious result and finally………………..Numerous kids who knew exactly who they were and dispensed with their name badges.
…..and a good time was had by all!!
