The CWANG Challenge Proves a Success Once Again

Last Thursday evening (15th July) saw this summer’s local jamboree take place. It all started a few years ago as The NAG Challenge – a bit of out of season fun between the Navigation (now Nottingham Central), Ashfield and Gambit chess clubs. Now we have West Bridgford and Nomads joining in the fun, so we now have the CWANG challenge.

Five teams of ten players each enjoyed four rounds of fifteen minute chess in an event using the jamboree format. The results were as follows:

Nomads      25.5
Ashfield       20.5
Gambit        19
Central         18
W Bridgford 17

Thanks to Drag Sudar of Gambit for organising the event. It couldn’t have gone any better!

We’ve Moved, Once Again

As you’ll have figured out from the title, the club has moved again. We’re now based at the King William IV pub. Full details are on the location page.

Sorry this article is a bit late coming. Also, sorry it’s going to be quite brief. En passant, note that I did update the location page quite a while ago (very soon after the move, which happened early in October) so the venue/location details on that page have remained correct all along.

I’m pleased to report that we are very happy with our new home – it seems to have somehow injected new enthusiasm into the club!

So far the web address is still named after our previous venue, but that should be catching up fairly soon.

The Navigation Chess Club Web Site Gets a Face Lift

The club’s web site has a face lift! Well, at least a change of style. The change of style is a result of moving the site to run under the WordPress blogging software, a technical change that gives us a couple of advantages:

It makes updating of regular pages much easier
It makes it easy to have a blog on the site, this making it easy to post news and updates

The way the site looks will almost certainly change a little in the near future – and the current look is just to facilitate making the change and get it up and running using its new hosting technology. In fact, the look may well change quite a lot!
