The WCU are holding a Zoom meeting to discuss the resumption of over the board chess. The full text of their announcement is given below.

The meeting is open to one member of each club plus zone officials and if you are interested in taking part you need to contact Kevin Staveley at homedirector@welshchessunion.uk

COVID-19 WCU Club Zoom Meeting

Over many months Welsh Chess Union officials have been monitoring both Welsh Government regulations and Welsh Sports Association advice.

We hope to have more information when the next announcement is made prior to 6th August.

The Welsh Chess Union has organised a Zoom meeting for one official from each club (and also Zone officials) which will take place on Monday, 16th August at 7 pm to give advice.

We are restricting this meeting to one per club so that the numbers attending do not get too large.

At present it seems highly likely that all clubs will need to have a written risk assessment prior to opening and we have also been told by WCU Insurers (who also cover clubs) that this risk assessment must be approved by the National Governing Body.

At the meeting we will give guidance on completing a risk assessment and discuss other things to be considered when reopening.
