Wey Valley Chess is the umbrella organisation for primary school chess in Surrey. It was set up in 1976 in the Weybridge area, hence the name, but it rapidly spread throughout Surrey. It now represents primary school aged children from state and private schools in Surrey (and some neighbouring London Boroughs that now cover areas of historic Surrey) that have no primary chess organisations themselves.

Wey Valley Chess - Surrey

Every year I am asked by EPSCA to recommend our top players for selection for the England U11 team trials. I usually nominate 8 to 10 U11 players and, occasionally, an U10 if he/she is playing exceptionally well. Interested players should try to attend at least two of the asterisked tournaments. In order to be selected for the England Trial, players will need to do well (score more than half points) in two of the events. I have one automatic nomination who will be our Board 1 player for the EPSCA Under 11 team.

The England Team Manager is Victor Cross who can be contacted on 01803 400972 or Email: victorcross@Compuserve.com
