HERCA Chess Association
Calling all players and captains.
We need ALL players who wish to be included in any HERCA chess events to complete the HERCA form before the end of October.
This has been agreed by the Hull Chess club's executive.
Players captains have received an e version and hard copies are attached to the notice board at the club.
Keith Porteous is compiling a list of all members who have completed the form.
I am asking captains to encourage all of their players to complete the form and return it to myself or Keith asap.
I will be at the club this Wednesday, albeit playing in the League, if anyone wants to hand them to me.
