It was great to hear last week that the Devonport Chess Club has been officially revived.
The club will meet on the second and fourth Tuesday each month during school term at the East Devonport Community House, 106 David Street, East Devonport, from 6 p.m.
Regular attendees will be registered with the Tasmanian Chess Association and the cost will be $3 per evening for senior players and $2 for juniors.
The funds will be used to support community outreach programmes organised by the Community House.
The first session will be held on 22 October and after that on 12 and 26 November and 10 December.

Don’t forget, the Hungry Jack’s NBL Blitz is coming to Devonport on Friday night with South East Melbourne Phoenix taking on the Sydney Kings at the Devonport Basketball Stadium.
Doors will open at 6.30 p.m. with the tip-off at 7.30.
Tickets are available online through the NBL.
I hope that basketball fans will get out and support this game to show how popular the sport is in Devonport and hopefully lead to more NBL games coming to the region in the future.
