The following flyer was published on Irish Chess Union website, givng details of the Mick Germaine Cup. This is a nice event, suited for all our kids. Our Club will try and finalise our teams this week. Please note that we will have as many teams (of four) as are needed to allow everyone interested to play. In many years we enter 5 teams! So, if your child is interested, simply give your name to John/Mariada at the club on Saturday 13th. We will ask for one parent to manage each team of four.
