Regina Scholastic Chess Club - Update

Due to room availability, the SSCA kids chess club at Connaught Library has changed some of the dates they are meeting.

The club still meets at Connaught Library Branch from 7-8:30 PM but they will usually meet downstairs in the program room instead of the main library.

The dates below are the new correct dates
Oct 27 - downstairs
Nov 10 - upstairs
Nov 24 - downstairs
Dec 15 - downstairs

This is a free program.
We will supply chess boards.
For now coaching will occasionally be available but we are working hard to get a permanent coach for after Christmas.

Make sure to pass on the new club information to  all your friends who like to play chess!
