Club Championship, 2005

 

There was a good turnout for the break-up party. Yitao Lei proved that he knew far more about chess history than anyone else present by convincingly winning the chess quiz, and Darren and Lachlan Do proved they could build a higher chess tower than anyone else.
 
Jenny Beckett, who recently retired from the position of treasurer of the Gold Coast Chess Club after at least five years in the position, was presented with thank-you gifts by the President of the club Peter Haron. Peter also announced that Jenny was being made a Life Member of the club.
