AHFO CHESS CLUB.
Every Tuesday from 20th June 2023 we will be holding a weekly Chess club at our Tuebrook Hub. The group will be run by Mal Hanlon who is an absolute expert in the game and will take novices and beginners to a really high level through this programme.
The group is for adults and children over the age of 11. Spaces are limited so you must book on to secure the spot.
