If you have suggestions for tournaments or other events, e-mail her, and she can help organise them. The Chess Centre (10 Ranelagh St, Adelaide, near Light Square) is usually open on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7pm - late. Tuesday nights are usually reserved for regular organised events such as State Championships and the Interclub Matches while Thursday nights are kept for casual games.
The SA Junior League usually makes full use of the Chess Centre on Fridays - immediately after-school for primary school matches and in the evenings for Secondary Matches.
Everyone is very welcome to visit the Chess
Centre -
there is no charge unless you want to
play a game and if that is in the Interclub matches it is usually $8
per night (or $6 on presentation of a full time student, a pensioner or
an unemployed concession card) while the cost on casual nights is just
$5. Register for Newsletter We hope you have lots of fun and register for our e-newsletter - that way you will be sure to know when the next event will take place. Email alang@knightsandbytes.com.au and give your name and email to be on the newsletter list. Alan Goldsmith SACA Deputy President
