Street Chess and Chess Club Promotional Day - 10th August 2013

Hi Brighton Chess Club Members,

Good News, I am going to organize another Street Chess/Chess Club Promotional Day on Saturday August 10th 2013 from 9.30am to 4pm located on NEW ROAD, opposite Brighton Theater Royal (same location as last time).

Map: Here is a map link to the event:- Brighton Chess Club Promotional Day Location

What are we doing? We are going to erect 3/4 chess tables in a line and play 5 min speed chess throughout the day, we are also going to hand out Brighton Chess Club Business Cards to the general public. I'm sure if we play a lot of chess and look friendly, this will attract the attention of people walking by and hopefully we can chat and tell them more about our cool chess club and gain new members. :-)

Action From You: Would you be able to help me with this event? Yes/No.

If you are interested and are free on this day, please reply as I would really like to here from you? :-)

Here are the pictures again from the same event last year:
