Congratulations to Alex Freeland, Darren Woodings, Paul Taylor and Anthony Higgs for beating the champion.

I forgot to mention at the AGM that I will need any non availability dates for MSL teams - please let me know by next Tuesday at the latest ... fewer is better :)

Please arrive early to take on Peter Harbott , the club champion...the first twenty will get the opportunity to take him on and we would like to start promptly.

A new film is being released to DVD on 10 August.

The Dark Horse is based on the real-life story of Genesis Potini, a brilliant, New Zealand chess player who suffers from severe bipolar disorder. Despite the challenges that come his way, Potini pushes forward to find his purpose in life by passing on his knowledge of chess to the children in his community. The Dark Horse is an inspiring, powerful film starring Cliff Curtis and James Rolleston.

Here is a link to the official trailer... https://youtu.be/75khN6Yj1bQ
