International Games Day at Grantham Library on the 15th of November

Saturday the 15th of November is International Games Day. As part of the events, members from Grantham Chess Club will be at Grantham Library between 9am and 3pm.

The aim is to get libraries across the world involved, by holding or hosting game related activities on that day.  The event will promote the idea that libraries are about more than just books.   It would also promote the educational and social value of games.  The library is well placed as a Community institution that is welcoming to everyone to hold an event where people, families included can come to play together.

Please come along and support this event. We are also looking for members who could give up even an hour or two on the day so that we can promote the club and play some social chess.
