Thursday Night Chess Club

Summer 2004

While our summer 2004 program is over, we do hope to hold a similar program next summer.

 Details
  • Thursday nights, 6:30 - 8:30 pm

  • Fee:  $3 / session

  • Open to T. H. Rogers students, siblings, parents, friends, camp participants and other scholastic players

  • Thursday nights are informal.  This is chess club, not chess class.  While we should have at least 2 coaches there every Thursday, their primary function will be game analysis, not a formal lesson in front of a demo board.  Formal instruction is offered at camp and during the Monday (Advanced) and Tuesday (Intermediate) night team training sessions. 

  • That said, if a group of beginners start coming who are in need of instruction, we will offer a short lesson at that level at the start of each session.

 Rules
  • You may not drop your children off at the door to the building.  You must walk in and sign your children in just as if you were taking them to camp at the science museum.  Ditto for picking them up.  It is required that you leave an emergency phone number on the sign in form.  These are standard safety precautions.  

  • The Weslayan Building closes at 8:30 pm.  So, you must be timely in picking up your child.  

  • Do not send a hungry child.  Please feed them dinner before they come.  Parents assuming their children can wait to eat until 8:30 or 9 pm at night was a problem last summer.  There will be no snacks or drinks in the room.  A hungry child can not concentrate.

  • If you are bringing a toddler or other non-chess playing child and staying for the entire session, please bring something for them to do.  Some Legos, crayons and paper, or books would be appropriate.  They should be quietly occupied, not running around.
 Registration
 
  • If I do not have a current registration form for your child, please complete the Summer Chess Registration Form.  If I have a 2004 Summer Camp registration form, that is sufficient unless any of the information has changed.

  • Please bring the form with you the first time your child attends.  Or, during the month of May, you may mail it to:

T. H. Rogers Chess Club
5840 San Felipe
Houston, TX  77057

Please do not mail them in the summer.  I am not sure I will be at the school often enough after camp ends on June 18th, to pick up any additional mailed forms.

  • The $3 payment is due each time your child comes.
