| Alumni Returns to celebrate another successful year of Chess, with the Society. |
Following from a very successful Graduation Celebration of 2022, which brought together the three cohorts affected by the pandemic, 2020, 21, and 22, the Society took over the running of that event, with its inaugural Chairmans' Dinner - an end of year formal for the Society and Alumni.
Set off the banks of Leam River, Society Chairman Tom Campbell choose the newly-opened venue of The Terrace. An excellent choice.
It was a delight to toast to the success of the Society's 2022-23 Season, in particular the hard-earnt efforts of Co-Presidents, James Parkinson and Meghana Mohan, with 200+ members, a record-breaking Rapidplay, and two serious sponsors - Optiver, and Chessable.
On the Alumni front, this year was a success with online streams, three new teams in the World Chess League, two new FIDE Arbiters, and of course, the happy engagement of Alumni President, Peter Batchelor, and Emma Bewley.
Full report on the private Alumni Facebook Group, shortly.
The next Alumni Trip will be Chess Fest, in Traflagar Sqaure, on Sunday 16th July.
