The Walker Shield is a four board competition with a grading limit of 120. The Hargreaves Shield limit was raised to 140. Clubs can choose to enter either or both if they wish. The Shield is named after Alan Walker, who left Herne Bay Chess Club after many years as secretary.
There will be a new club joining the Thanet League this season – Seasalter. They meet on the first and third Mondays of the month in the Sportsman Public House, Faversham Road, Seasalter, Whitstable, CT5 4BP. They will be playing in the Walker Shield only, captained by Alan Evans.
Due to Alan Walker moving to River after many tears of brilliant service, we had to have a shake up of officials. Due to my access to computers etc. I am now secretary & treasurer of the club(not enough to retire on I’m afraid!). Bob Pooley will be the Millar Cup Captain & Brian Humble the Hargreaves captain. Brian is also Assistant Secretary & I am assistant Millar Captain …….
Best regards
