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
Bernie Kooiman

Mick Croft has decided to stand down as Chairman of the Thanet Chess League as from the AGM. He does not think he should be involved with League business anymore because he is unlikely to feel like playing chess again. He has been involved for forty years as a player, captain and secretary within the Thanet Chess League as well as Chairman. He also holds all three posts of Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer at Margate Club, from which he is also standing down.
Thanet were back on winning form in their match away to Tonbridge after a defeat in the previous match. Full results can be found in ‘Tables > Other Competitions’
