Malawi Charity Fundraising Allegro
#1
This one day thriller takes place this Saturday at Prestwick's St Nicholas Church Halls. It may be Halloween but don't be scared off from entering the event. The gruesome games start at 10.30am and run to a fiendish finish at 5.15pm.

The good ladies of the church will be providing a canteen with tea, coffee, sandwiches and so on.

As this is a fund raising event for a good cause there are no cash prizes but there may be trophies awarded.

All proceeds will go to the St Nicholas Malawi Initiative.

Games will be submitted for Chess Scotland grading and FIDE rating where appropriate. I'm hoping this will be the start of a number of one day FIDE Rated rapid and blitz events but that depends on the interest.

Come along, play some chess, have some fun, enjoy the day and help raise some money to help others.

There may be appear to be an issue with the online form, as it needs all the star marked boxes completed and it may look like the form is or isn't sending.

Just saw this. Results don't seem to have gone up online, but I won the open with 5/5. More importantly, the event raised a fantastic total of more than £450 for the Malawi initiative, so hats off to the organisers.

from Iain Fraser of the Ayrshire Chess Association
"I would like to thank David Congalton for running the Malawi Charity Rapid Chess event a total of £548 has been raised which is fantastic and will make a big difference to the people of Malawi.

The Open was won by Andrew Greet and the Major by Dick Heathwood. Thank you to all the players that participated and help make this event such a success and hopefully we will be able to run this tournament again next season."
from me well done David...
