Local Christian Worker leads chess residential
 Kevin Moore, who is well known in chess circles, regularly leads clubs and chess based holidays for young people. This year the holiday is for 11-15 year olds, and is a chess/bible residential “Checkmate”, based on a converted church (now a Diocesan Christian Centre) overlooking a country park in Bedfordshire.
The holiday will involve chess play, answering questions and befriending young people. There will also be Bible teaching using chess terms and examples, which will be a unique part of the holiday.
There are spaces for 16 young people for the period August 17-21, and the holiday is open to all those between 11 and 15 with an interest in chess.
Checkmate was recently featured in the Scripture Union magazine “The Life”. For further information contact Kevin Moore at the address below.
