This was considerably more than the other post-COVID years (we had 12 teams last year, for example).
We had an exciting and very busy day and the weather was on our side, too; we were expecting rain but it didn't appear and the children were able to enjoy themselves playing football, table tennis or just relaxing with their teachers and parents in the wonderful surroundings of Yarm Preparatory School.
CSC provided medals for all of the teams finishing in the top three positions of both sections and book prizes for the highest-placed CSC schools (thank you, Nevil!).
Every player received a certificate of participation and there were extra certificates for the top three teams in both sections.
Well done and thank you to the control team of Catherine Lloyd and Johannes Grundmann - and to everyone who helped to make the event such a great success!
We are proud of what we are achieving together and this particular event, which is one of the longest-running series of chess tournaments in the world, looks all set to go from strength to strength.
