Over the summer events have been quiet. It was sad to learn of the death of one of our members who passed away at the end of April. Brian Hitchens returned to playing league chess after a 20 year break. Brian had just played a few games for Kidsgrove. The members were just getting to know Brian . His death was unexpected.
There has been some interest form some junior players with one attending to play some of our members. As August came members started to play a few practice games. We hope to keep their interest.
