Carrington Arms chess tournament (Sun. 01/06/14)
Ever thought the chess game in Harry Potter was really cool and wished you were there…well now you can! The Walking Society and Chess Society are joining forces to bring you a chess tournament and burger social at the Carrington Arms.
Everyone will have a chance to play someone on the large chess set at the Carrington Arms (ok maybe it’s not quite as big as the Harry Potter chess set….) then enjoy a yummy burger from their delicious steak counter (veggie option available)
Note: we only have three chess clocks so can people with smart phones download a chess clock app for the day
