It has been a pretty wild week for the Australian National University (ANU). Last Tuesday night (27 Feb 2007) the University was hit by a massive hailstorm that damaged a number of buildings. The skylights in the building I work were all smashed and the top floor was flooded. Photos of the wreckage (by Felix Schill) are here.
Fortunately most of the University is back in operation, including the venue for the ANU Chess Club. It what may be fortunate timing, the Chess Club starts for 2007 this Wednesday evening (7 March).
The full details are as follows
=================================================================
The Australian National University Chess Club is starting on Wednesday 7th March 2007. The club meets in the Staff Common Room in the Asian Studies Building, Australian National University. The Asian Studies Building is off Childers St, next to the Canberra School of Art. The meeting room is on the 4th floor. To get to the room you can either go through the front entrance and take the stairs on your right to the top floor, and then turn right, or take the elevator to the top floor. The club meets from 7:30pm every Wednesday night.
The first meeting (7th March) will be an introductory night for new members, with either a lightning or allegro event to be held. The club is open to all ANU Staff & Students as well as invited guests.
The clubs emphasis is both on enjoyable but competitive chess, as well as assisting in chess education and development for adult chess players (ie 18 years and older).
