Fair City Chess Festival

"The venue has been changed, this is due to a double booking by Dewars Conference Centre, and they have now allocated the SALUTATION HOTEL, SOUTH ST. PERTH instead. It is lovely, but not ideal, but it is what we must run with as we have less than a week to go. We are in the process of re-emailing everyone and contacting those who have entered, please do let your friends and clubmates know this new information if they do not already know!!

As always we will uphold our high standards and aim to provide the best possible chess event for all the family, with events for players of all abilities. We look forward to seeing you next Sunday!

Please follow the link to the Dalguise Website which will details a map and pictures of the new venue. We are in the midst of making up a new entry form and will be contacting entrants this evening. It shows the nearest car parking and where the new venue is situation. Once again we are sorry for any confusion caused but we hope you will still support us in our 14th event!

The Fair City Team"
