Gaining the Duke of Edinburgh Award at Brewood Chess Circle

Although Brewood Chess Circle has never actively advertised it, (although that will be changing in the future) we are happy to help any young person who wants to do chess as their skills activity for the Duke of Edinburgh Award.  It is good for the chess club itself and more importantly it is good for anyone doing the award with our chess club.  

-

In the local area children from the two most local schools to the club offer the chance for their pupils the chance to do the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme for children in school years 9, 10 and 11.  

-

The club has helped out children in the past to do the award and it really is as simple as turning up at the club and enjoying yourself.  There are no tricks and no traps set!  In fact because there is so much to learn in chess any child turning up to do the award would not be treated any differently to anyone else at the club who is not doing the award.  

-

Then as long as you turn up for the correct amount of time to do the award for each level of Bronze, Silver and Gold, the club will sign off the relevant paperwork.  Of course we hope that any child that turns up at the club to do the Duke of Edinburgh Award stays beyond the minimum length of time to complete each level of the award because chess is such an enjoyable activity anyway.  

-

The club is aware that chess is a difficult game (which studies have shown is the reason why it is so enjoyable) so the club has never set an unrealistic target for a child to complete.  It is challenging to learn anything new but selecting chess as your skill subject is just the beginning, and the club is excited to help anyone complete their Duke of Edinburgh Award at every level.

So if you are in the local area and have googled "Duke of Edinburgh Award Chess" or something similar, why not come down to our club and give it a go.  The club will be happy to help your child get the award.
