Fun, chess, sweets, and... "cooked", as we heard quite often from the kids last night 😅

Our biggest turnout last night, which is fantastic! A future tournament for the kids looks very promising. But right now, enjoying playing and learning is the priority here at the CDCC!

All abilities and anyone under 18 are more than welcome to join us at 7:15pm every Tuesday night at the Verbal Arts Centre.

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!
