Barclaycard Chess Volunteers In Action!

Here on Teesside, we are fortunate indeed to enjoy the services of a series of volunteers from Teesside Barclaycard. The volunteers are now into their third year of helping with our weekly CSC Teesside school curriculum sessions.

Yesterday, for the first time, a pair of volunteers was also in action at our Yarm Team Championship.

Mark Singleton and Vicky Dewhurst gave up a significant part of their weekend to come along to help with all aspects of the tournament, including...

Setting up the pieces at the start of the day

Passing on post-game tips

Observing critical games

Ensuring fair play

Solving problems

Entertaining the children between the rounds

Thank you, Teesside Barclaycard volunteers!

We look forward to working with you again in our schools this term.
