THE BLUE TRAIN CHESS CLUB
The Blue Train Chess Club had its inaugeral Opening Night last week and after only a short promotion period, had a fairly successful night with 7 people attending and getting involved in playing Chess.
A good mixture of players from Beginners to good club standard turned up and so whilst those who were fairly experienced got stuck in, Club Organiser, Alan Winfield spent a little time with some basic training on Openings for the beginners.
Though early days for the Club, the organisers felt it was a good start with those attending confirming a good time was had and plans to become regulars.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday and for any new readers out there, the Club meets at the Blue Train 31 Rimutaka St, in Paraparaumu from 6.30pm.
