3) Vegetarian Children’s Chess Club
We are planning to set up a chess club for vegetarian children later this year; possibly on a Sunday morning every second month. The aim would be for the children to play against each other in a friendly environment and improve their chess. Beginners welcome. We also intend to have an experienced chess teacher come in occasionally to run workshops, for which there would be an extra charge. If this sounds like the kind of thing that your child would enjoy, please e-mail Francesca at Christchurch@vegetarianfamilies.org.nz as we need an idea of numbers before we book a venue.
