Sessions
We have regular junior chess session for any level.
We go a Summer Break. Kinsale session will be back in September. Ballyphehane will start over on 12th July.
- every Saturday, from 10am to 1pm at the Ballyphehane Community Centre.
- every Friday, from 4pm to 6pm at the Kinsale Community School.
There is no age restriction, but ideally the best age to join when the child can already write down moves (for puzzles, or for competitive chess).
