NSW
The Australian Open, Minor and Classic Tournaments have been confirmed
for the above dates at the same venue as the 2010 Australian Championship
events.
Venue: North Sydney Leagues Club.
As further information is released, this newsletter will be updated to
reflect the increasing information.
2011 Australian Junior Chess Championships, 15-23 Jan 2011
Mooroolbark, Victoria
On behalf of Chess
Victoria, a group of chess club (Ranges and Croydon mostly) members and
parents from Victoria will be hosting the Australian Junior 2011 at the
Billanook College, Mooroolbark, Melbourne on behalf of the Australian
Junior Chess League. This will be the first time the Australian Junior has
been held in the state for quite some time, so we are all very excited
about the event! This post is just to give some preliminary basic details,
all of which are subject to final confirmation; full details will be online
on a website established for the event in coming months.
Note that this was announced and some details were distributed last weekend
at the Doeberl Cup.
Dates: January 15-23 2011. Note the event will run a maximum of 9
days (and occupying only 1 working week)
Venue: Billanook College, Mooroolbark (www.billanook.vic.edu.au)
is located in the gateway to the Yarra Valley of Melbourne. It is located
on 15 hectares of natural bushland in a quiet, semi-rural environment. The
venue is first class and chess events are run there on a regular basis. The
college is 2km from the nearest station and we will be running shuttle
buses to there and also to nearby accommodation, depending on demand.
Accommodation: A range of accommodation styles and costs is being
negotiated. Stay tuned for more details! There is handy conference centre
accommodation and a dozen motels within 20 minutes of the venue, plus a
couple of caravan parks and a mediation centre. Those with more up market
tastes, well Melbourne IS the capital of suave.
Schedule: This is brand new, not been tried before, but should prove
more attractive, especially for visitors, as the younger players event is
finished in fewer days. The attached draft schedule may be more useful. But
in summary:
- Six championship events, in open and girls
divisions
- The event runs for 9 days for the U18/U16 players,
6 days for the U14/U12s and 4 days for the U10/U8 players
- All lightning and problem solving happen on the
Tuesday
- There is no rapid tournament
- Those under 10 could play in both the U10/U8 and
the U14/U12 events
Organisers: The main organisers are myself, Scott
Humphreys, Pearl Yung, NY Wong, Yew Sze Lim supported by Paul Bearup, Jamie
Cross and Kerry Lyall and others too numerous to mention at this stage. All
of these people bring a wealth of experience to junior chess events.
Social events: We will be aiming to provide various social events
for players and parents to make the event as friendly and enjoyable as
possible and give parents more options for things to do while the
tournament is on.
Official website should be online by around the end of June, or earlier if
the stars align properly. But block out your mini-break in Melbourne dates
for now.
Contact: me either via this site, or send an email to ajcc2011@gmail.com. We are looking for
all offers of support (in any form, sponsors, volunteers, etc) and am happy
to consider all suggestions at this stage.
