The Counties Chess Club is proud to organise the first ever Counties Regional Chess Championship, with open access for all, regardless of age or skill level.
Our vision is to create a fun, inclusive, and family-friendly event that not only attracts locals, but players from across the Counties Region.
The purpose of this annual event is also to motivate and encourage new and existing chess players wherever they may play.
The tournament also provides an opportunity for the wider community to come together, socialize, and engage in a healthy and educational activity. We have players from 6 years old to +80 years old, coming from all walks of life, and it’s wonderful to see how a simple board game can bring people together, create motivation and confidence, and provide a unique tournament experience for both players and visitors.
Attached are pics from another first-time event I co-organised in Kerikeri last year ( Northland Chess Championship) .
Thank you again for your support and hope to see a full venue in November at the Rosehill Intermediate School in Papakura!
Kind Regards,

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Hi Good Neighbours
Just moved into Pitt Ave just over a month ago, someone decided to visit my shed in the early hours of this morning and helped himself or herself to my weedeater, blower and my daughters bike that was a Christmas gift last year.
Whoever you are you will never be satisfy with your life, i hope one day you will go and find a job, instead of relying on other peoples sweat.
Hope also that what goes comes around and will bite you in your back side really bad.
Keep your homes safe good neighbours.
Have a pleasant weekend.
