A massive “Well Done!” to all those who took part in the NJCA Congress at Newcastle Prep School Sports Hall on Saturday 15th October.
This was the largest attendance for one of our Saturday congresses for a while, with over 70 children taking part during the day. Many children attended for morning or afternoon sessions to get a taste of a chess day and we hope to welcome them back to future events!
All competitors should be incredibly proud of themselves!
