From the Archive: Westminster Celebration

It was on this week back in 2011 that we took a party of children from CSC Teesside to London celebrate a fantastic first year of Chess in Schools and Communities.

Guests on the day included former World Champion Garry Kasparov and a gallery of stars from British chess.

One of our players was interviewed for 'Newsround' and we all had a great day.

Chess in Schools and Communities has grown considerably since that first year.

Here is the report I wrote back in October 2011.
