Dear Chess Friends,
Unfortunately, the Pflegezentrum has informed us, that they need the cafeteria and all rooms tomorrow 18th December for their own Christmas party.
Because of this we have to postpone our Christmas tournament for the new year.
In case you are still keen on a game of chess in the old year, we could meet Thurday 20th December from 19:30 in the Pflegezentrum.
All others I would like to wish already now a Merry Christmas and a good start into a wonderful year 2019!
All the best
Roland
