I am delighted to announce that Robin is one of the recipients of the ECF President’s Award for Services to Chess. This is richly-deserved recognition for the great contribution that he has made to Cornish chess for nearly 40 years. The citation reads:
"The current healthy state of Cornish chess is in no small regard the legacy of Robin Kneebone. His strong organising ability has served the Cornwall CA well for 30 years as County Secretary, President and Secretary for Junior Chess. He has captained a number of club teams, currently three at the Carrick Club and organised a variety of events from the Annual Congress to many junior events. He has also represented the county on the BCF/ECF council."
Chess in Schools and Communities” are looking for people to run chess clubs in the following town libraries: Camborne, St Austell, Truro and Falmouth Contact Robin Kneebone (CSC Cornwall Coordinator) for more information.
Minutes of the AGM are here. Minutes of the Secretaries' Meeting are here.
