It is rare indeed for any city other than London to have more than one training day in a calendar year. Yet here we were, back in Hull for the second time in 2022, following January's successful event.
I always receive a warm welcome in Hull. Isaac and the excellent team at the Hull Central Library had ensured everything was in place for our day and we had a wonderful group of delegates.
Jo Hutchinson was once again the Hull assistant and our guest star was Dan Staples, of CSC Head Office.
We worked on many topics, including our CSC curriculum, mini-games and a discussion on the benefits of chess.
Thank you, everyone, for a very enjoyable event.
Here are some captured moments from the day.

| Sunrise in Hull. |

| The Hull Central Library is a magnificent venue. |

The library carpet depicts the Three Ducal Coronets -
the famous Coat of Arms for Kingston-upon-Hull |

The library always has quirky items of interest.
This time, there was a toad-themed display. |
 |
| Not many libraries have their own art gallery. |
 |
| Dan Staples was our very special guest on this occasion. |
 |
| Mini-games on action. |
 |
| There were more pupils than usual this year. |
 |
| It worked for Korchnoi in Baguio City in 1978. |
 |

| Dan Staples - a great friend and CSC colleague. |
 |
| Jo Hutchinson was the official Hull assistant once again. |
 |

I arrived home just in time to go through the back door and out of the front
door to see 'Lipstick on Your Collar' at Yarm's Princess Alexandra Auditorium
(our Megafinal venue), which rounded off a very fine day. |
The Training Day Tour continues, with dates in Liverpool, Manchester and London all confirmed. Keep an eye on this page for further updates.
